On Monday, April 12, Elaine Balpataky shared her photo of Tundra swans with the EBG. This got Doug Vallery thinking about ways in which we could share out nature shots. He suggested a contest:
"Recognizing the quality of photos being shared by Chuck and Elaine and John (mainly canines) et al., the EBG executive has decided to have a wildlife photography contest, to close at the time of the Family Reunion at the Richardson ’s in July. Full contest rules, categories and prizes will be announced as entries are received."
Doug also put forward some photo categories to inspire us:
humour
habitat
migratory activity
signs of Global Warming
wildlife and environmental degradation
endangered species
scat identification
inter-species integration

There will also be an “international wildlife” category, so that Alison and Martha can take some pics this week of the indigenous animals of Cuba (we are talking species of wildlife preferably not found at clubs etc.) J Also, we have also seen some interesting “species” from the Afghanistan theatre (thanks Patrick)
Some of us may be new to blogging. However, I will personally not be held responsible for mothers and fathers getting hooked on Facebook, so I have decided to set up this page. We can give it a try. If it seems overly complex or cumbersome, we can try another medium. What do you think? I am welcome to provide tech help.
As Doug noted, entries can be sent to the EBG Secretariat at: emerybaygang @ gmail .com and the tech-saavy family folk can assist in posting photos and comments.
Okay, let me contribute some scat-tastic photos for sharing....
Hmmm, that's not my favourite poop shot. I can't seem to find it.Well, here's something for spring:
Suggestions and thoughts welcome.
