Lloyd's Newfoundland Photos

My Photo
Name:

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.

ROBIN..

It's the best I could do. Robins are so hard to find in this neck of the woods.

Who but Nature could have created such a melody of colour in such an ordinary place.

CROSS BETWEEN A DUCK AND A TURKEY???
.
Notice beak.
.I've discovered since that this is a Muscovy duck, native of South America, and is the only duck not related to the mallard. They are of great benefit to farmers because they feed on insects.

CEDAR WAXWING.
.
A rare sight in my particular location. Trees must make way for the booming "housing developments". This was one of my lucky days.
