I've liked the original of this staircase view, shot in Edmonton, Alberta. I was not happy with a few elements, so decided to eliminate the window, add the cat, and keep all but the cat painterly. I like it much better now--I don't seem to be able to stop creating cat pics! ;-) 1/17/23 www.sparhawkphotography.com
This was one of the American White Pelicans at the lake at Prado Regional Park in Chino, CA. In this shot he was taking off from shore, heading into the center of the lake. He is getting ready for breeding, as shown by the growth on the top of his bill, which will likely grow considerably larger in time to attract a lady pelican! ;-) 1/16/23 www.sparhawkphotography.com
This female kestrel was one of the three falcons I saw the other day at San Jacinto Wildlife Area. (Sorry, no pics of the third one!) She later flew off and performed her hovering in the sky, looking down for any likely prey. I didn't manage to get a picture of that! 1/15/23 www.sparhawkphotography.com
