Views of mallards from this summer. I always enjoy watching them.
Mallards
Herring Gulls
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.
Peaceful Scene
We were travelling around Boulter and Fort Stewart, Ontario, and saw this peaceful scene.
Sunset and Waves
The waves on Georgian Bay were still quite high when we arrived at Craigleith Provincial Park a few weeks ago. They had had a storm the night before. It takes a long time for the water to settle after having a storm. The water was high, surrounding the the picnic tables along the shore. The […]
Flowerpots on Flowerpot Island
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 […]
Sauble Falls
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 […]

The part I enjoyed the most was seeing the swans. They have both trumpeter swans and mute swans. I didn’t know the difference […]
Loons – Preening
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 […]
The Many Faces of our Lake
I love the way our lake always looks different. The lighting and the clouds make such a difference and can change quickly throughout the day or evening. The following pictures were taken in the evenings this summer. Some of them were taken with my cell phone, but all were taken of the west end of […]
Bearded Iris
I’ve been recovering from some illness this summer, so have not posted anything for awhile. However, I have been able to take some photos, especially around the yard and area. I posted about Bearded Iris Flowers last year, if you want to look at that post.One of my favourite flowers in the spring is still the […]
