Hiding in plain sight

It just goes to show you that animals are coloured a specific way to blend in with their environment. A Blue Heron is actually grey with a bluish tinge to it, Yet it hides among the fir trees on this island.

Today I have three

It was a very hot day today. Not much in the action dept. going on. Thank god the beer was cold. I went into my bacck yard to enjoy the sun ( finally). I turned to see the Heron on my nieghbor's lawn and dropped my beer running for my camera. A few shot into it the Heron flew over to a rock that sticks out of the water giving this unique vanatge point.

Always keeping an eye out

I was out back on the tractor cutting the lawn. When I turned the wheel to cut the edge by the water a Heron caught my eye. Forever watching the water got this bird got me thinking...... I'm doing the same thing....Forever watching! You never know what one might miss out on.

The call of the loon

It's a very cool feeling one gets when someone cretaes something or gets inspired after viewing a work of art that that you have created. Here is a poenm titled," The call of the loon". A friend of mine wrote this after viewing a photograph of a loon that I had posted online. So , I went back to the drawing board so to speak and tried to convey in a picture what she had written. Thanks Andrea!

Fungi

Today's find is fungi, or lawn shrooms. Don't eat them though as these are the posionous kind.

Tis the Season

This is the comeback season for all the cottagers to come back up and well........

Where the journey all began

This is one of the first pictures I have taken with a "real"camera. The place is ssituated on Sturgeon Lake just outside of Dunsford ontario which is literally minutes from Bobcaygeon. It was taken in the fall of 2009.
