2024 Coming to an End

 Time for Photo Competitions and Quests

Winter Animals = $20

Snowshoe Hare (Lepus americanus) Shirleys Bay, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

Pulse = 1287

So far I have tallied up $34 dollars in prizes for my contribution in Quests through 500px photo website. I was surprised to receive anything at all. I have to admit it is pretty fun to be participating seeing that I don't regularly join in to win. It is truly very interesting to get the feedback on the popularity of my photos. I will be participating more frequently in the new 2025 year, it gives me something to do and to wrack up some prize money is always a bonus in my books. Here are my submissions in the photo quests and the money won. 

Bubbles = $10

Pulse = 1077

"Minimalism" Monday = $4

Pulse = 762

Seasons = $0 

Pulse = 1492

Pulse = 1173

It's something new to do and it doesn't hurt to submit and like I said it is flattering to get the pulse on each of the photos. The next round of Quests are : Your Best Photo; Purple Theory; Species of Birds and Wildlife in Winter. I am also entering three photos in the Questmas : 12 Days. 12 Challenges. 12 Prizes to be Won. Some competitions I participated in are Canadian Wildlife Federation : Reflections of Nature Photo Contest, I submitted three photos. Flickrs : Your Best Shot 2024, entered my popular Green Frog photo, which is now approaching to be my number one most popular photo that I have ever taken. Sadly to say I missed out on Canadian Geographic : 2024 Canadian Wildlife of the Year, a competition I usually do well with. Well there is always 2025 to look forward to seeing that 2024 was mostly a Northern Green Frog year, I couldn't believe that was my milestone for the year. Next week I will share with you the outcomes of my Quests already the bird photos are reaching a very high pulse so I am imaging they will take some prize money and it has only been one day after submissions.

 Nature & Wildlife Site Northern Green Frog ( Lithobates clamitans melanota ) Foley Mountain Conservation Area, Ontario, Canada. Featured on the Project Noah Facebook page on November 7th, 2024. About the Project Project Noah is an award-winning software platform designed to help people connect with the natural world and learn about wildlife. Launched out of NYU’s Interactive Telecommunications Program in early 2010, the project began as an experiment to mobilize citizen scientists and build a digital butterfly net for the 21st century. The original Project Noah platform was founded by Yasser Ansari , Martin Ceperley, Peter Horvath, and Bruno Kruse with support from New York University and the Joan Ganz Conney Center . Participation I have been an active member on the Project Noah   community website pretty much since its inception in 2010. I first learned of the site from my participation in the National Geographic Your Shot global photo community. " NOAH " ...

Ghost Tiger Beetle

 Adoption on NatureServe.org Ghost Tiger Beetle ( Ellipsoptera lepida ) Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Conservation Status: imperiled (N2N3) in Canada (NatureServe) I recently discovered that I can adopt a species on the NatureServe Explorer website and I was able to choose my most prized and favourite little species the  Ghost Tiger Beetle . On the site you can choose almost anything under the  Adopt a Species  initiative and even request a special adoption which is what I did and chose to honour my father with a gift a species. The initiative is probably not on your radar and I wanted to let you know what a wonderful option it is as a gift idea. Just imagine that your favourite species out there can be help and supported through this action. The staff of NatureServe were so helpful and committed during the adoption process and they also featured one of my photographs, the one featured above. I may continue to adopt the ghost because in Canada they are imperiled but ov...
