2. Our granddaughter is a waterbug. She spent most of her time in the lake.

3. I still haven't finished sorting through my 1,800 or so vacation photos.

Cottage Birding

The cottage on Georgian Bay is in the middle of a nature reserve. That means it's well wooded. It's not an easy place to get bird shots!

Bird feeders can't go up until the winter, as the black bears in the area love to snack on bird seed, and load up on calories in late summer for their big sleep! As much as I would love to get a photo of a bruin, I wouldn't want one on the front porch!

So, this is all I got.

Leaping Leopard

We are back from the cottage. A wonderful time was had by all!

I have 1,853 photos to go through... YIKES! Hubbers lost the bet, he said I must have taken over 2,000! Since I'm still in vacation mode, it's going to take a while to get those pics sorted.

Today, I am sharing one of the many frog pics I took. He just happened to be the first subject on the random memory card I pulled from the pile.

Northern Leopard Frog

The Northern Leopard Frog is an extraordinary leaper! In a single bound, it can cover 1.8 metres. This is 15 times the length of its body, which is between approximately 50 and 110 millimetres.

Georgian Bay

It's vacation time for us!

We are off to the cottage on beautiful Georgian Bay.

This year, Beep, (our granddaughter) will be spending a whole week with us!
Her first vacay without mom and dad!

Because of the cliffs surrounding the cottage, we have sporadic internet access,
so... see you in September when we get back!
