Floyd Ronalds Photography Photographer for almost 30 years. Still shoot he old school way without using photo manipulation programs.

It's all about what you see and capture through the lens, not your ability to add a special effect in Photoshop. Be true to yourself and your subject...it's just that simple.

A lot of memories pop up on my page from weddings, family shoots, engagement shoots, portrait work, etc. I rarely share them. Probably because I steer clear of that kind of work now. It's just too much for me to handle.
But this one popped up today from an engagement shoot a number of years ago. And it was a soft, gentle memory of Joel and Marie Michelle. A nice way to start the day. I eventually traveled out of town to shoot their wedding as well. It was a great day for all.
Nice memory for me.
And no, I am not getting back into that again.

Never stopped raining all night.
Looks the same all day too.
Make the best of it. Better than a drought.

Who?
Me?
Of course I didn't take your lunch.

Alvin. ALVIN! ALLLLVIIINNNNNN!!!

A chipmunk's expandable cheek pouches can stretch to hold up to three times the size of its head. Depending on what they are gathering, a chipmunk can stuff about 60 to 70 sunflower seeds, 31 kernels of corn, or roughly 12 acorns in their cheeks at once.
It's a great year for chipmunks. Plenty of youngsters out and about. I watch closely for one with cheeks 3 times the size of its head.

The grind of the work week - finished.

As grad week 2026 comes to a close, this popped up in my memories from last year. It takes a lot to make me smile these days. But this did.

Many moons ago, I met this young lady.
Iris was just a wee thing at the time. This was back when I was still capable of doing all sorts of different outdoor shoots. I was booked for a family session. And we spent about an hour or so at Pabineau Falls creating memories for the entire family to have as keepsakes.

Like my nanny Ronalds, I have the uncanny ability to read people...and see into the future. That day, I read Iris. And I knew that she had a gift. The gift of being genuine. And I had this little voice telling me that she would overcome all obstacles, climb every mountain and beat all odds in order to become the same genuine young lady that she was as a child. I was right.

Last year, she graduated.
It was an honor for me to drive her and her date to the prom in my '68. And, of course, I just had to take some photos.
I guess, as long as I am still on the top side of the grass, this memory will continue to pop up every year at this time.
And it will always make me smile.

TGIF
That is all.

A good opportunity to view the beautiful back and closed wing feathers of a male Bobolink. Far too often, anything other than the breast, face and open wings of a bird is ignored. From experience, I can tell you that many species of birds have hidden gems that are just as beautiful, if not even more stunning than what is on the surface.
So yeah, I'll take photos front, back, up, down and all around. Mama Nature provides the canvas covered in amazing artwork. It deserves our attention.

Just a VERY small portion of what I have been working on in my trophy shop for the past number of weeks.
So nice to see the awards being presented.
The support is always GREATLY appreciated.
I can help you with just about any of your award needs.
And, there's a possibility that I might be expanding a bit into the world of laser engraving. It would streamline my process in big ways. And allow me to offer different services and products.
Trying to be a Jack of all trades here...but a master of none, of course.

You did it!

As the class of 2026 walks across the stage during the next couple of days, be proud. You have reached one of the biggest milestones of your life. Your educators have laid the groundwork. Built the foundation. It's up to you to complete construction.
There's one bit of advice I can give you.
Always be true to yourself.
Find a dream. And follow it.
One life - live it.
Be safe and smart.
But never sacrifice your happiness.

To all BHS and ESN grads that chose me for your graduation photos, THANK YOU! It was a pleasure.

Looking forward to seeing the class of 2027 in studio this Fall.

The world is yours for the taking.
Enjoy!

I guess I missed out on sharing this one from that spectacular morning I had at the cabin on May 31st. There were just so, so many birds surrounding me. My heart still smiles softly when I think of it.

Bay-breasted warbler.
In the breeding season, the male is distinguished by a chestnut (bay) crown, throat, and sides. It features a black face mask, a creamy-buff patch on the side of the neck, and two bold white wing bars, So, there you have it. Fits the description perfectly. Could pick him out of a line-up at the cop shop.
They are spruce budworm specialists, eating thousands upon thousands during breeding season. And that's a good thing. I can remember back in the day when I used to work and live far out in the bush, those nasty budworms were insanely bad for a period of time. One could see swaths of coniferous forest stripped of their needles. They were hanging from branches everywhere. Kinda gives me the heebie jeebies just remembering it.

The week is winding down.
The last awards were delivered to schools this morning.
Feels good to have accomplished it again.
Guess I can make myself an award now.
Better yet.......🍷🍷

During crazy busy times for me, I always try to take a minute to look for the little things.
I have taken a gazillion photos of dandelions gone to seed. It has always mesmerized me. On this day two years ago though, this little gem was swaying in the wind, moving in and out of filtered sunlight, giving off the most calm and peaceful feeling. By tracking it's movements into the light, I got the glitter I was looking for.
Never, ever, ever forget what is around you. No matter how crazy life gets.

My lesson for the day.

When moose shed their thick winter coat in the spring, they look remarkably scruffy, shaggy, and patchy. A couple of weeks ago he made an appearance as well. And at that time the molt had started around the base of the neck. And it was moving down the shoulders. I originally thought he was having a rough go with some ticks. It just kinda looked that way. But now that the molt has spread, I can tell he is not infested with the little b****rds. I'm sure there are some latched onto him somewhere. But nothing life-threatening. This monster was wayyyyyyyyyy down at the far end of my pond on Sunday. There was another one on the opposite end as well. But it was tramping in the deeper bush. So nice to see them setting up residence on my land. Hopefully 50 acres is enough for them. They are much safer there than anywhere else.

How about that lawn, eh?
I am caught up on trophy shop work. So the lawn tractor was calling my name. It doesn't pay to neglect chores when other responsibilities have you overwhelmed. That will be a 2-3 evening chore. Baby steps.
Or maybe that goat I have been thinking about.

There's nothing that looks more frustrated than an eagle on a dark, rainy morning.
I think that's just about enough rain for a little while.
Right?
But, good that we're getting some though.

Last award deliveries for 2 schools today.
A few minor engravings left for BHS.
A couple for CCNB.
And that's it for another season.
T'was wild times for awhile.
Keeps me young. 🤣
Basketball camp awards next.
Great local support of my little trophy shop.
And of course, my photography business.
Thank you all.
