The barred owl stayed in our area for a couple of days, which gave me some time to get some more photos. It spent most of the day in the tree and was intently watching the squirrels in our yard. I cropped a couple of photos so that we can see the face, and the […]
We had a visit from a barred owl today. It’s been quite awhile since we saw one in our yard. It stayed throughout most of the day and for most of the time, stayed up in a tree watching for something to eat. I had the opportunity to see it taking off from the tree […]
About a week or two ago, we had some trumpeter swans in the river at the end of the lake. There were three of them. Two of them looked like adults, and one looked like a cygnet (young swan). We haven’t seen them for a couple of years. I took some pictures of them a […]
Recently we put two trail cameras up behind our house. We’ve seen a fox, a turkey, and two fishers. Today we were able to see the fisher in the daytime. It was pretty fascinating to see and we hope to see it more often in the future.
Winter sunsets are beautiful on our lake. We get to see them better because the sun is further south and the sunsets are on the west side of the lake.
Winter is definitely here. The snow has come, the lake has frozen, and the ice fishing is well underway. At times, our lake looks like it has a fishing village on it. When the sun is shining in the mornings, we often see fog on the lake. It’s a beautiful time.
We have several mourning doves staying in our area. I know a lot of people find them to be a nuisance, but we have been enjoying seeing them. This morning they were sitting on trees with the sun shining on them, and the trees behind were in shadow – perfect chance to get some pictures. […]
I thought I would add some more pictures of the rabbits we’ve seen through this summer. The next two pictures were taken in the last week or two. The rabbit’s fur is changing colour, preparing for the winter. It’s amazing how fast it changes. As it has gotten whiter, the rabbit has been sitting under […]
We’ve been blessed with some beautiful weather this month. I’ve enjoyed the fog in the mornings.
I was trying this summer to get some photos of the great blue herons that are on our lake. Finally, there was one this week that co-operated with me and let me get some pictures. It was in the morning during sunrise and foggy conditions, so I was able to get some silhouette pictures too.
