I enjoy looking at the spring flowers that come up. This week I discovered some blue forget-me-nots in a small corner on our property. I didn’t know we had them, so it was a pleasant surprise. We also have a grouping of trilliums, so it’s interesting watching them grow too. They are getting thicker every […]
A couple of weeks ago, we had the opportunity to be in Niagara Falls, Ontario while I went to a work conference. We’ve been there a few times before and have enjoyed many of the special attractions. We prefer the natural attractions, so spent most of our time walking to the Falls and enjoying their […]
I’ve tried taking photos of the moon before, so when we were told that it would be a super moon, I wanted to try taking a picture of it. It’s not easy. As you can see from the following pictures, I experimented but still didn’t quite get a sharp picture. The first picture is of […]
Spring is definitely here. We are seeing small wildflowers coming up in the bush. What a treat to walk in the bush behind our house right now. It has dried up more, there aren’t too many water puddles, and there are no bugs yet. It won’t be long before that happens, so we are enjoying […]
We were out for a walk in the bush this week, and noticed quite a few of the Red Admiral Butterflies. Although I’ve seen these before, I still had to look them up to make sure that they were indeed Admiral Butterflies. They look like flying flowers to me. When I checked on the internet, […]
During the winter, I wasn’t taking too many pictures because I was working and inside more. So, I looked through the internet to see what other things I could try with some of my photos that I have already taken. The internet provides many opportunities for us to learn from others. There are examples and tutorials to […]
Last week I took some time at the end of my work day to stop at a small roadside park at Furnace Falls, Ontario. The water and rapids are not as high this year but the falls (or rapids) are refreshing to look at and listen to. I didn’t have my tripod with me, but […]
When milkweed is dead, it isn’t very attractive. It can actually look very ugly. But then, it opens in the spring and the seeds start to come out. They remind me of large dandelion seeds but are even more feathery. I think they are fascinating. We have a field of milkweed up behind out […]
How do people celebrate Easter? Just as Santa Claus draws away from the real reason for Christmas, we see the same thing happening at Easter with the Easter bunny and Easter eggs.Our church had a Good Friday Brunch yesterday. There were about 80 people there, and we had an uplifting message pointing to our Lord […]
Our neighbour’s cat thinks that she owns us. When we go for a walk, she makes sure she is with us, and will follow us almost anywhere. When we drive into our yard, she runs over to see us. When we open our door, she’s sitting outside waiting and hoping we’ll let her in. And […]
