Krahnpix was always an odd combination of wildlife photos and my eclectic version of wit. I’m pretty sure I was the biggest fan. I suppose that was a natural outcome of pouring my heart and soul into a project. Through good times and bad, I passionately chased wildlife, learned a few tricks of the trade… Continue Reading

It’s happened hundreds of times. I catch a glimpse of wildlife, like a young elk, and my brain sends the adrenaline pumping thru my veins. It’s scramble time! Since I’m usually in my four-wheel blind when it happens, I quickly navigate into position, open my window and start reaching for my camera in one smooth… Continue Reading

Even if I don’t have anything good to say … I still manage to write a blog! Spring in Saskatchewan means weather that has occasionally turned nice. Folks here are beside themselves excited to feel the occasional warmth of the sun, listen to the birds chirping and … well … you get the picture. With… Continue Reading

Nice, where do goslings rank on you’re bird scale. They are irresistible – the commentary is perfect!

Ah yes the old bird likeability scale – I had to check back on that. When I come out with version 2.0, I may have to add another point category for babies since they seem to be a lot cuter and far more irresistible than the adults. Good point! Glad you enjoyed the post.

Beautiful shots. When I saw the subject matter I thought that someone was masquerading as you, Lyle. It is well established that you have a predisposition for predators. However, when I read the captions, I knew immediately that it was in fact you. Your sense of humor is, how should I say, “inimitable.” Like many others, I chuckled at the life lessons that accompanied the photos.

Glad you liked them. You’re right about the predators but I hate to be too predictable and those goslings really caught my eye. Inimitable sounds like a great aspiration and it’s a wonderful word.

Those are so adorable… We have so many geese arround here all year… My kids were holding baby ducks they were rescuing on Friday… Mama had 9 babies and lost 2 that the kids couldn’t save from city sewer drain. But they did save several. She still had 7 end of the day.
