Lloyd's Newfoundland Photos

: Name: Lloyd

My home is in Chamberlains, CBS, Newfoundland: a place close enough to sea so that I can go there to watch the glorious sunsets over the bay, and the other infinite variety of sights and sounds that are forever changing, yet forever the same. I'm not as young as I used to be and don't get around much any more, but I've had many wonderful hours of enjoyment with my Yasihca 44 TLR and trusty old OM-2. I've always enjoyed photographing wild flowers, particularly the smaller ones, many of which , albeit mostly overlooked and dismissed as weeds, are exquisitely beautiful. Digital photography, complete with all the magic of its own portable darkroom, has brought a new dimension to the hobby. My OM-2 is retired now, but it is such a beautiful instrument, such a joy to hold and behold, that I don't think I will ever want to part with it. My digital, used mostly, is a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ30. Its 35-420 mm Leica zoom lens can really reach out for those hard to reach shots. My photographs are strictly amateurish, but hopefully some have succeeded in capturing something of the moment that inspired them.

TODAY, MARCH 30th.

After yet another storm. It appears as if winter has no intention of giving way to Spring.

ENVIOUS GRACE.

Despite their disgusting habits, for which we humans are responsible, they are so photogenic that it's hard to resist "taking their snap".

HERRING GULL.

Beautiful in their natural habitat. When perched, they nearly always stand on one leg.

THE GRACELESS STARLING.

No, not a mating ritual, just the wind!

SIC TRANSIT GLORIA MUNDI.

"A tree, no doubt, that once did wear a nest of robins in her hair".

PASCAL MOON.

Photographed last night, March 21st. It will be another thirty years before a full moon occurs an the day immediately following the vernal equinox. This explains why Easter, which follows the lunar calendar, comes so early this year.
