Accident, Teddy Bears, CanAm 2016

 I am going to rework my teddy bear photos as a product of Just Bearly's Footography for Flickr. 
 The newest bear from December 2018.  It is from the LB store.  It does not seem to have a name.  I think I will call it Jake.
 On the 3rd of January at about 11:00 am there was a pedestrian hit.  Three or Four Police cars and at least 3 ambulances and the dog pound truck  arrived.  Some of the men were Saanich Police, some were Firemen and some were Paramedics.  They got the guy loaded into the ambulance, then set up the crime scene tape.  The photographer spent some time taking photos.  There was a young woman taken to the scene from up the block (by view was blocked by the house).  She seemed to be in cuffs and looked very distressed.  They eventually took the tapes down and three of the police cars remained on the street until about 5:30.  We have no ideas what happened as there has been no reports in the news, or newspapers.

I have been loading a few of my photos from the CanAm in the Palouse area, near Spokane, Washington, in 2016.  This is one of Pat's favourite photos.  These photos are mostly taken from on our Model T, so they are kinda blurry.

Selective Focus

 The back of the bird
 the front of the bird
The whole bird.  The three robin photos are from the Robin feast day.  A flock of robins arrived in my back garden and all tried to pile onto the holly tree to eat berries.  As these robins are quite big they had some trouble balancing on the thinner branches of the tree.  This made it difficult to catch a photo of any bird as at times the whole tree would be shaking.
 The figs at various focuses.

 I am always amazed at how the camera lens can shoot through the narrow openings to capture the back ground more in focus.
I just liked this bokeh and composition of the Harry Lauders walking stick in December.

We have been having heavy rains in the last couple of days.  I must get out and see how high the river is now.
