Congratulations to Ballywing and Doreen and everyone for their great photo's.  It seemed everytime I was in a situation where I would say "That would make a great photo", I had always left my camera behind ::) >:( oh well, there's alway's next year

I took my photo one evening as I was leaving the Forks.  The evening sky was extraordinarily beautiful and I knew that I'd never be able to adequately capture the spendour, but it seemed like a neat photo, with the Canadian Museum providing an interesting addition to our skyline :)

I would like to see a brief explanation of the remaining photos as well ... otherwise they will remain a mystery.  ;)

Nice idea Burdi :)
This is the quiet time of the year, so folks don't log in as regularly as during the nesting season so it may take a bit of time to get everyone's stories.

I will also add the stories to the original post as well so folks can appreciate the story & photo together.

Thank you TPC - that’s great if you’re willing to add the stories to the original post. Hopefully at least a few of the mysteries will be unlocked.  :D

If there should be another photo contest in the future, perhaps each participant could submit a little info along with their entry.

I took the photo of the "Olympic Sparrow" when I was in Vancouver this past summer, burdi. There were 2 giant bird statues along the waterfront in the Olympic Village. They were erected for the 2010 Winter Olympics. Quite spectacular! 8)

For more info on the bird statues, here is a link...

Oh, spectacular for sure! Thank you for sharing this, Kinderchick.

Thank you everyone.  ;D
The little hawk stayed around from Sept 9 - 13.
It love to sit on the deck rail so I took a lot of picture. Such a beautiful bird.
We have a huge feeder with so many sparrow we know why it stayed.

"Bluebells in May" certainly is an extraordinary photo, ballywing! I was wondering where that photo was taken. Congratulations! :D
