We have had a population boom of turkeys in our area in the last few years. We often see them around our area, in our yard, in the bush behind, on the road. We don’t just have to watch for deer now – we also have to watch for turkeys. At one time, wild turkeys […]
The young juvenile loons have been in our lake until just the last week or so.  They stay longer than the adults before migrating. I took these photos about a month ago. As you can see, the markings are not the same as an adult loon. By the time they left, they were looking more like […]
Views of mallards from this summer. I always enjoy watching them.
Seagulls, herring gulls … I never know what to call them. Usually they seem like an annoying noise in the background – in cities, beaches, parking lots … basically anywhere. However, they can be very interesting to watch.

Flowerpot Island is an interesting place to visit. On our recent trip, we went to Tobermory, Ontario and took a boat cruise out around the island. We were able to spend some time on the island, and the flowerpot formations were the highlight of the visit. The Flowerports were formed over may years. They were […]
This fall we visited Sauble Falls Provincial Park. They have a lot to offer the camper – hiking, biking, and canoeing / kayaking in the river. I really enjoyed looking at the falls and practising taking photos of the running water. The falls are in steps which make it easier for the fish travelling upstream […]
Last week we visited the George Langman Sanctuary which is located west of Orillia. They have some swans, ducks, rabbits and pheasants to look at, and it is well worth the stop there. The part I enjoyed the most was seeing the swans. They have both trumpeter swans and mute swans. I didn’t know the difference […]
Lately we’ve had fog in the mornings. This is a great time to go out in the kayak and enjoy the quietness of the morning. When I was out there the other day, I was able to get fairly close to a loon that was doing its daily ritual of preening. Preening is necessary to […]
