A chilly day last weekend (45F), these canoes will have to wait a while longer to be unwrapped. The official start of the Parks and Recreation season isn't until the May 24th weekend, (Victoria Day).

A Bed Post - SkyWatch Friday

Or rather...a photo taken through my bedroom window.

I have pneumonia, and am currently on complete "bedrest".

I'm bored, but at least I have a nice view!

Nesting Geese

Canada Geese nesting on the Ausable River

This guy is in defense mode because...

...we got too close to the nest.

He seemed more relaxed as we went on our way.

Tundra Swans 2

Click on the pics to enlarge

Migrating Tundra Swans on a stop over in Alymer Ontario, Canada to refuel, on their way to the high Arctic Region between Alaska and Baffin Island to breed. Thousands of the magnificent birds arrive in early March to rest before continuing migration.

Last weekend we visited the Aylmer Wildlife Management Area, where it was estimated that there were approximately 5,000 swans there already. Between 10,000 and 60,000 birds will come and go from this area over the next 3 week period.

The Wildlife management team (all volunteers), feed the swans 73 or more bushels of corn a day. The santuary depends on public and private donations for operating.

It's Round 10 @ ABC WEDNESDAY, check out the letter A HERE

A is for Abstraction. Typically, abstraction is used in the arts as a synonym for abstract art in general. It refers to art unconcerned with the literal depiction of things from the visible world.

Christmas Colours

A post for Macro Monday/The Creative Exchange/ i heart macro/Ruby Tuesday

Colours are the smiles of nature

~Leigh Hunt

The flowers of this poinsettia (green buds) are less than 1\8th of an inch in size, so my Raynox DCR-250 conversion macro lens did wonders on this shot!

The brightly coloured parts of a poinsettia are not the plant's flowers. They are actually bracts, or modified leaves surrounding the real flowers, which are the (3-5 mm) greenish-yellow buds in the centre of a bunch.
