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 […]
We went to Point Pelee last week with the hopes of seeing the migrating birds. We did see some, which I will post about next week. However, the best sighting we had was here at home. The day before going, we were visited by a pileated woodpecker. It was very accommodating, and let me have […]

Last week we went to Minden, Ontario to look at the flooding there. While we were in the area, we went to the Gull River where the rapids are. The water was quite high as you can see in the two pictures below. You can usually walk beside the river and sit on the bench. […]
I had prepared this post before we had the flooding:Our spring has been pretty late coming this year. We were down to Scarborough last week, and they are much farther along than we are. Our daughter was busy planting pansies and an apple tree, so I thought I’d take some pictures of the pansies with […]
In the last couple of days, we’ve had a lot of flooding in our area. We live on Green Lake, and our boathouse has been destroyed. Several of my friends have asked to see pictures so I thought I would put them up on my blog as a special post.The first pictures are of our […]
I was taking some pictures this winter of some children blowing out candles. This was challenging, as I was hand-holding my camera and using my new 50 mm lens … and children don’t always stay very still. I’ve chosen my best ones to remind me how I did them. I shot the pictures in manual: […]
