Thanksgiving Monday (Canada), was unseasonably warm,
but made for a great day at the beach!
Beep (our granddaughter) tests the water at Port Stanley, Lake Erie, Ontario.

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.
Yellow-throated Vireo
American Robin
And on the water...

ABC WEDNESDAY - Q is for Quaint
The Victor Harbor Horse Drawn Tram is located in the city of Victor Harbor, South Australia, Australia. The tramway runs for half of its route over a 630 metre wooden viaduct or pier, locally described as a causeway. It links the visitor information centre in downtown Victor Harbor with the nearby Granite Island recreation and nature park. It was built in 1867, and has offered passenger service since 1894 , to the present day. It is one of the very few horse-drawn tram routes remaining in public transit service anywhere in the world, and provides service every day throughout the year. There are four tramcars, each hauled by one of 8 Clydesdale horses.

The main body of the bay lies east of the Bruce Peninsula and Manitoulin Island.
We vacationed this year on the tip of the Bruce Peninsula.
To the west is Lake Huron, to the east, Georgian Bay.

Lardeau River at Howser, British Columbia, Canada,
within the Selkirk and Purcell mountain ranges.
The Lardeau River connects Trout Lake with Kootenay Lake.
Both are glacier formed lakes, and that's why the river is this gorgeous colour.

Down By The Riverside

It was a beautiful day on Sunday, so we decided to go for a walk in Meadowlily. It's a couple of blocks from our house, and the area runs along the Upper Thames River (in London, Ontario, Canada - not England)
Spring splendour along the Thames!
This little Painted turtle (he's about 3 inches long), was basking in the sun.
He looks a little grumpy don't 'cha think?
A handsome Canada Goose couple on the river flats.
And...ta da! My very first Red-winged Blackbird capture!
Although it's not as close as I would have liked,
I was pretty excited to finally get a photo of one!

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.
