Almost the end of October....

We have seen a few flakes of snow in the air.....far to early for it to last. However the best sight was SNOW Geese, yesterday in Danville Quebec. What a treat for the eyes. ( A bit noisy on the ears!!)

At times is seemed as if there was a white cloud of noise..... there were so many geese in the air at one time.

Rusty Ferns

Roadside ferns this year are a lovely rusty orange. As my 93 year old Mother said this afternoon, "Mother Nature has been working overtime in the colour department, what a treat"

One of the young ones from over the winter

He has been visiting a couple of times since the winter...... he came with a sister in June, and spent the afternoon in the yard....he had the beginnings of antlers at that time but one was definitely damaged. A few days ago, I looked out the window, and there he was again. He still has a problem with his antlers, but he has developed well over the summer. I hope he makes it through the fall!!

A Perfect Toadstool

 

or maybe a mushroom..... saw this in the woods last week, I almost expected to see some "wee folk" hiding under it.

Monarch Butterfly

 

I seem to have been too busy to do much about my blog this summer, but thought I should share this Monarch Butterfly.
I saw more of them around this year than last, but not at my garden.

The birds are making their way back....

No photos to back this up, but yesterday May 4th, I saw two male bluebirds. Today a bobolink, and the Heron was fishing at the Pond. We are making progress.

Spring Solstice March 20th

Sunrise at the Stone Circle in Stanstead, Quebec. A few hearty souls gathered at the Stone Circle to welcome the official Spring sunrise. The weather was overcast, but Mr. Sol did make his appearance.
