This guy (maybe she’s a girl) lives in our pond and is very still while being photographed.

A Lovely Sunday Afternoon
Quick, before spring’s temporary arrival is over here are some pics from a visit to the Ganaraska Millenium Conservation Area . This is my second time using my new 180mm macro lens – just getting the hang of it. Though everything is still brown the sun makes it look happier.

Donkey Sanctuary
As a surprise Val took me to the PrimRose donkey sanctuary in Roseneath, about half an hour away from our cottage. Here are some of the lovely donkeys and mules. They take donations if you’re interested.

Christmas Backyard
On Christmas day I checked out my backyard: what a mess. However, there’s always something to take a picture of. This time I tried to shoot some man-made things as opposed to just my usual leaves and natural detritus.
Leaf Litter
Leaf litter is such a misnomer. In reality fallen and torn leaves can be quite beautiful and abstract. Photography manuals always say to choose the best, most perfect leaves and flowers as subjects. I prefer the most chewed up ones.
-
- Peony leaves changing colour.
-
- Fallen leaves, probably birch, on hostas.
-
- Someone enjoyed this hosta leaf as a meal.
-
- More fallen leaves and a little fluff!
-
- A leaf gently drifted onto position on these weeds by the lake.
-
- Curled up hosta leaf.
-
- Teeny, tiny leaf on leaf.
-
- Heuchera leaves - actual colours.
Animals by the side of the road
Equine scene on Scriven Road just north of Rice Lake. The second guy just wouldn’t turn around.
Cows resting on each other.
Kestrel on a wire.
Rouge Park
Signs of fall were emerging even on the lovely afternoon of August 26 at Celebration Forest in Rouge Park.
August at the Cottage
There’s not much happening, so here are a few random pictures, including some from a hike at Nature Areas 1 and 2 at Trent University in Peterborough.
Cottage Creatures
A heron, four carp, a Muscovy duck and a hummingbird – all on one May day at the cottage.
