Photographers notes:
Autumn colors at the historic Cedar Creek Grist Mill near Woodland, Washington. Constructed in 1876, the mill still produces flour, corn meal, and apple cider using the original milling processes.

Out on an outing with John, Pat, and Chad. While I took the requisite standard shot from the bridge, the moss on these trees in the foreground was too much to ignore. A bit of lingering fog helped to even out the lighting.

Peace, my heart, let the time for the parting be sweet.
Let it not be a death but completeness.
Let love melt into memory and pain into songs.
Let the flight through the sky end in the folding of the wings over the nest.
Let the last touch of your hands be gentle like the flower of the night.
Stand still, O Beautiful End, for a moment, and say your last words in silence.
I bow to you and hold up my lamp to light you on your way.

The Black Tern is a "Species at Risk" in Ontario. I was directed to an out-of-the-way cattail marsh by a birdwatcher friend where these terns appear to be nesting.

Man - are these things tough to photograph in flight! Trying to keep the focus tracking on these birds is a real challenge - when they are flying straight at you they have a very thin profile and the focus has trouble locking on and even when you get them side-on they continuously bob, weave and make sudden banking turns that are near impossible to predict - I found the best thing to do was let them dive into the water, then lock-on and catch them on thier way back up into the air...
