It is with incredible sadness the family announces the passing of Dennis Swayze on Saturday, January 20, 2024, at the St. Boniface Hospital, at the age of 69 years.

In keeping with Dennis’ wishes, cremation has taken place and a celebration of his life will take place at a later date. A longer obituary will follow closer to the date of the service.

In honouring him, and his love of photography, we will keep his website going. Please visit www.pbase.com/photosbydennis to view some of his amazing work.

Almost Missed It

There are days when out-n-about that provide little to no rewards…maybe this was going to end up being one of those days or not.

Homeward bound after cruising some back roads and was just passing the last farmyard before the highway…something seemed odd about the light post at the driveway as I passed.

Perhaps it would be worth turning around and checking…nice surprise to find a Red-tailed Hawk (juvenile) perched on Mr. Farmers light post.

Almost missed it…thanks Mother Nature for the reward.

Perched on a Limb

My routine at the summer place in Gimli begins with an early morning pot of coffee…while most folks are still sound asleep.
With a full travel mug in hand I head out to check the usual haunts…never knowing what I may come across.

Pleasant surprise to come upon a Bald Eagle perched in a tree along the shores of Lake Winnipeg. He/she was perhaps there in search of a meal.
Bald Eagles primary food source consists mainly of fish and mammals…both alive and as carrion.

One just never knows what will be found when it comes to Mother Nature and what she has to offer.

Cheers !
Dennis
