Floyd Ronalds Photography

Floyd Ronalds Photography Photographer for almost 30 years. Still shoot he old school way without using photo manipulation programs.

It's all about what you see and capture through the lens, not your ability to add a special effect in Photoshop. Be true to yourself and your subject...it's just that simple.

Through my lens this morning...

There were 2.
Almost the same size and age.
One 6 pointer and one 4 pointer.
Pretty dark and drizzly.
Had to use the front of the ATV to steady the camera with the long lens attached. But it worked out OK.

Plenty of water down everywhere. Wide and deep puddles all along the trails to get in here. Light rain now. I might be pretty wet by the time I get back to civilization. Not the first time. Won't be the last. If you hide on the weather, you are not a true, dedicated nature photographer. You can't book prime shooting times. Take it as it comes. Pull a rabbit out of the hat. Hearts will smile.

A memory from a couple of years ago...

Cutie Pie!
I stumbled upon a large flock (25-30) of Black Ducks early that morning. I stopped to look. But I wasn't planning on taking any photos. I have tons of images of Black Ducks. But as I watched them swim away something was out of the ordinary. Mixed in the middle of them all was something with drastically different colors.
Low and behold a Northern Pintail Hen. The males are much fancier. But the simple details and color of the females make them cute as a button.
I don't see them often. But certainly glad I started my day with this lady.

It's a cool morning.
Looks like clouds and showers are on the agenda.
Gonna step out there and see if anything is moving anyway.
Sugar melts. I certainly ain't made of that.

Take a guess.
Should be an easy one.

That's about enough rain for a while.
And wind.
It was some mucky and damp on the ATV ride to the cabin today.
Not a fan. Hopefully the next 2 days are better.
Autumn chores are piling up.

Not much.
Just a single Morning Glory reaching out from the dark.

The petals unfurl rapidly at sunrise to greet the early day. The bright, striking colors offer a brief, glorious display before the heat of the day causes them to fade. Each individual bloom lasts for just one single day, making way for new buds the following morning. A short but well-lived time on earth.

The rain has stopped for a little while. But it's supposed to kick into gear again later today. Get as much fresh air as you can regardless.

Female Green-winged Teal are very inconspicuous dabbling ducks. Very small ones too. The smallest of its kind in North America, actually. And they are crazy fast. Their cruising speed is around 30 to 50 mph during regular travel. But they can reach a maximum recorded speed of 60 mph (97 km/h) when flushed or pressed. And they sound like low flying missiles if they fly closely over your head. I've been spooked by them many times when they arrive unexpectedly at a pond where I am sitting quietly trying to observe wildlife. It's something everyone should experience at least once in their life. I find it to be super cool.
Then again, what means very little to others means the world to me.

Rain.
And more rain.
And probably more.
The weekend has arrived regardless.

Welcome to September.

I'm a couple of days late.
But I have been busy with other projects. High humidity levels slow me down with a 1-2 punch. And humid has been the norm for quite some time.
But, here we are.

Here's the framed print that I will be giving away for this month, during my 12 Months of Giving. It's an 8.5x11 very recent image of Mr. Majestic who I have been tracking for years. I had some other photos printed. But I just HAD to see this one in a frame. And now it could be yours. 😍

Once again, your chance to win is simple.

At the end of September, a name will be randomly chosen from the list of those who followed those guidelines.
Thanks for getting involved again.
Good luck to all.

A memory from last year at this time...

This is one of my favorite times of the year at Ronalds Cove. There always seems to be something happening, no matter what time of day. But sunset seems to be the best.
On that evening, other than some geese far off in the distance and a couple of black ducks close to shore, there wasn't much happening. Then I heard the unmistakable croaking of a Great Blue Heron flying, inbound. I was behind some tall grass. So, it landed without seeing me. And the silhouettes against a mirrored water surface were well worth the visit to the cove named after my family. It's rare that water droplets will be reflected in the same fashion as the silhouette. But there you have it.

TGIF
A wet one.

Someday, I'll be big and strong like my dad.

Hopefully, yes.
So far, so good. A healthy wee one.
Eating well. Growing fast. Should be prepared for the upcoming winter. In the meantime, cute as a button. And dad is proud.

Raining pretty good out there right now. Plenty more on the way. It was some nice to have a summer without having to shut down the woods due to dry conditions. But it could dry up a bit right now though. If the tattered old body will allow me, I need to take down a few trees for next year's firewood very soon. And it's soupy on the woodlot road. That's never fun.

Friday tomorrow.

I have been asked many times.
Maybe.
That's all I can say at this point.

I am waiting to see if my supplier will have a sale on them. They usually do this time of year. But no sign of anything yet. If they don't have a sale, there is no way I can sell them for the usual $25. At the present time my cost per calendar is quite a bit higher than that. And I would prefer sticking with this supplier because I know what I am getting when I order. And the service has always been great. But no one can afford any extra expenses with the way things are going these days.

I have most of the images already chosen. I will be monitoring the supplier website daily for deals.
But 🤷.
Fingers crossed.

Great Blue Heron...at the golden hour...taking in the summer sunset while he still can.

Sunsets lead to sunrises.
Be thankful for being able to see both.
When that comes to an end it opens up a whole other can of worms.

Looks like an umbrella 🌂 is in order for the foreseeable future.
Stay dry.
