It is summer, a time that does not inspire me photographically.

It's more of a season for barbecues and outdoor gatherings.

But on occasion, I do search for photographic subjects. So I've taken photos of these "exotic" wildlife species.

1-W_22_0136Female Mallard Duck with brood A family of mallards.

2-W_22_0122 A ring-billed gull.

3-W_22_0142 A great blue heron.

4-W_22_0138 A gray tree frog.

If there is no wildlife around, I can always photograph another "exotic" subject: trees.

5-S_22_0081 A grove of trees on Manitoulin Island.

6-S_22_0113 Or a lone tree at Noelvllie.

And if I'm really desperate, I can take photos of churches.

Paroise Saint-David Church in Noelville.

Best of all, when friends gather for outdoor get-togethers in summer, I'll photograph them - all of them.

8-P_22_0064Walt's Party 2022 I'll even jump into the photo myself.
