When we were kayaking last week, we came across some mergansers who didn’t seem to mind getting their pictures taken. In fact they seemed to want to pose for me. I was able to get some photos before they grew tired of me being around them. Mergansers are also known as sawbills, fish ducks, and […]
Last week we went to the Bonnechere Caves. It was a treat, especially since the weather was so hot and humid outside. Inside the caves, it is a cool 10 degrees Celsius. Some of the places were lower and narrower. Taller people needed to crouch down to get through. The next two pictures are of […]
Today we were out on our lake and noticed something swimming in the water. We weren’t sure whether it was a dog or a bear until we got up closer. It was a young bear, and quite nervous about the boats nearby. I used my longer lens so that we wouldn’t be scaring it too […]
We have had a very late start to our spring and summer, so lately I have been enjoying seeing the different flowers in our area. Some of these are ours; some are our neighbours’. I’m thankful for God’s handiwork in flowers.
Today we had a pine warbler in our yard. It was very fascinated with its reflection in the truck and kept coming back to check it out over and over again. Usually Pine Warblers stay up high in pine trees so they can be difficult to see. This obviously isn’t the case with this one. […]
One of the tree stumps on our road has some fungi growing on it. I looked up some information about fungi and found some interesting facts. I have no idea what kind of fungus this is. there are thousands of types of fungus the word “fungus” comes from the Latin word meaning “mushroom” “fungi” is […]
My weigela is blooming beautifully this year. It is one of the first shrubs that bloom in the spring here.
I love going for walks on our road in the morning, especially when there is fog over the lake.
The mergansers have come back to the lake. They are more timid than the mallards and the loons, so I was happy to get some photos of them. The ice was off of the shoreline, so the ducks were staying fairly close to shore. The male and female look very different. Immature males look similar […]
We have had a doe and three fawns visiting our yard and neighbour’s yards this winter. It’s interesting to watch them as they wander around. It’s been a long winter for them. Some neighbours are feeding them, but today they were enjoying our cedar trees and bushes.
