Okay, so these aren't great photos, especially as compared to the wildlife photographers on this list, but I'm still pretty happy with them.
Took a walk down to the lake this evening and not much was happening. Walked up to a pond near the lake, and saw a beaver! Who knew? Beavers in Toronto... I think it's the first time I've ever seen a beaver in the "wild" (if a pond near Toronto can be said to be wild). These were the only two half-decent ones I got, as it spent much of it's time obscured by a bush eating fresh green shoots. After it's meal, it snipped of a branch and (as you can see) took it into the water. Then it dove and that was the last time I saw it. Waited for about 10 minutes for it to re-surface, but to no avail. Then I saw this lovely little blue and orange fellow. Any ideas as to what it is? They were tiny and spent much of their time whizzing about at high speed catching (I assume) bugs. All photos taken at ISO 3200 as it was getting dark. *istD, Sigma f3.5 50-200 manual focus zoom, Manfrotto monopod. Hope you enjoy.
