I don’t claim to be an expert about bumblebees. Our hydrangea is in full bloom, and the bees are very busy gathering pollen from it. Normally I avoid it because of allergies to wasps, etc., but this time I noticed many, many bumblebees, so thought I would try taking some photos. The bumble bee’s […]
The tawny daylily (which we often refer to in our area as the common daylily) is also known as the roadside daylily, the railroad daylily, ditch lily, and even the outhouse lily. This is because it will grow just about anywhere. I remember it growing near my grandmother’s outhouse, but we never called it the […]
I learned some new things about robins this year. Apparently, robins lay one egg per day over a period of 4-5 days. They often let the eggs cool until all of the eggs are laid, and then sit (brood) on the nest. This way, the eggs all hatch around the same time. I did read […]
I don’t often get a chance to take infant pictures, so was happy to have the chance this past week to get some practice. This little one slept most of the time. God created man in his own image … Genesis 1:27
We have ruby-throated hummingbirds in our area. I’ve been trying to photograph them over the years, and was looking on the internet for suggestions about how to get good pictures of them. They’ve been really busy here in the last week or so, but of course, when I was hoping to see them and take […]
We have a new grandson and I was able to be there for his birth. Of course, I took my camera, and was able to take some photos of the newborn. It’s an exciting time for everyone. His eyes were open for the next photo. Considering he was only 2 days old in this picture, […]
If you ever get the chance to go to Point Pelee, be sure to go on the Marsh Boardwalk. It’s a floating boardwalk, and you can walk for about half a mile around the marsh on it. This gives you a good chance to see birds, fish, and turtles. The day we went we didn’t […]
We really enjoyed the scenery while we were down at Point Pelee and I thought I’d share some of the spots with you. We camped at Sturgeon Woods Campground near Leamington, which is where the first picture was taken. We were able to watch the fish jumping as the sun was going down. Beautiful time […]
I was going to post some scenery pictures from Point Pelee this week, but as I was going through my pictures, I saw some that I had taken of some birders and thought that I would put them up this week, and the scenery next week.Sometimes it got a bit crowded when we were going […]
About a week ago, we had the opportunity to go to Point Pelee, Ontario, to see some of the bird migration. We had never been there before, and enjoyed the trip to the Leamington area. The weather was great when we were there, and we weren’t bothered by bugs. The birding festival was on and there […]
