Morning Frost

Wonderful Colour and Light This Morning

This Elephant Has Many Disguises

I only saw the tail end of the frost this morning, but what I did see was spectacular. The Old Elephant seemed to be hiding from the chill......

getting ready for a Lake Freeze

Do you remember when The Village Store used to have a pool to see when the lake would freeze?

Horse Hair.....

I had to stop to take a shot of this one..... latest style in Horse hair perhaps? Blonds have more fun???

I love reflections!

Magog, late November

If only we had a bit more sun..... and a few more days of it

this Azalea plant might bloom again. With our warmer November it has developed buds again. In the spring it is a lovely orange/peach colour.

sure hope this bird gets something to eat........

....before he heads south. He looks like all feathers and no bird.

.....Think he went that a way.....

and a couple more.....

Novembers` Last Fling

While cleaning up the yard today, I got sidetracked by the sun on the
last of the milkweed. There was a bit of wind, and the seeds from the pods looked as if they were dancing a ballet.

Good Fishing At Fitch Bay

Great Blue Heron, and yellow Sun Fish...... he swallowed it whole in one gulp!

Owls Head from Tompkins Creek

suddenly the wind came up, it got much colder and the white caps rolled into shore.....

and..... A Bit More Colour

Autumn On Brevoort Mountain

there are still baby birds... this late in the season

 

lots of noise going on at the birdfeeder outside the window...... looks like Mrs.American Gold Finch has two hungry young ones on her hand

Newly created Stone Circle Stanstead Quebec

As a result of lots of planning, heavy equipment, and the donation of many huge granite stones...... Stanstead, Quebec has its own Stonehenge. A place to gather, to meditate, or just admire the beauty. The stone in the foreground is in line with the sun rise at the Autumn Equinox.

You get to makes lots of friends when you live in the same pond

sometimes you just like to hang out together.....

End Of Summer.......

Mother Natures' artistic arrangements are everywhere...

999 energy

In numerology, yesterday, Sept 9, 2009 was considered a very special day. I attended a meditation in the morning and we were told of a area close by where someone is arranging to create a "stone circle". I though given the significance of day I would go and look for it. By the time I got there, the sun was in the wrong place for good photographs, and many of the shots did not turn out well. I turned this one into black and white......can you see the "energy",.... even over the tree line.

We had an unexpected guest at a party.....

A lot of family and friends got together last night for a summer visit. Just before we were ready to eat, the hostess shouted, "come quickly, and look out the window!". A young Heron had arrived at the gathering, but decided to perch on the cars outside rather than come in. I did not have my "heron" lens with me, but a picture is better than no picture at all, so I started snapping away. As you can see, they were not very good. It was going to be necessary to get closer. I went outside and quietly approached the cars.... the bird did not seem in a hurry to leave. He posed several times, then got bored and decided to leave for better food.

Remember ..... if you click on the photo, it is enlarged for better viewing.

Damsel Fly

No luck in catching a Dragon Fly.... have to settle for one of these

Fireweed

Nothing like the Yukon, but we do have a "little" bit.

Sometimes it is good to look back.....

The scenery behind is as good as the view in front

Silver Light at the end of the day

Last of the July sunsets...

Beauty on Browns Hiss

So far August has brought us less rain.....lots of beauty all around us.

I wish I knew what they were talking about....

bluebird update....

the "kids" seem to be on solid food now....

While sitting in a ditch, I overheard this "conversation"

"...we need to talk, you keep coming to the wrong house, I've told you it is the one facing AWAY from the road!"

More Bluebirds.....

 

I thought the nesting season was over, but there seems to be nest activity in this box today.

Sooooooo sick of the rain!!!!

We have have had so much rain I have not been taking many photographs. However I did find some wildflowers with a little visitor. A large painted turtle had propped it's self up on a bump on a log. I guess she was trying to get as much sun all over as possible.
