We were out very early this morning to get you a few Canada Day photos.
In several of the fields alongside the Prescott-Russell Trail the grass has been cut and baled, so we had a great time playing ball in the shortened grass.
Here I'm taking a break on a bale. I got up all by myself, and Dad called me a bale-jumper!

An enjoyable walk through the Watermeads Nature Reserve alongside the river Wandle. The Watermeads or “water meadows” were amongst first properties acquired by the National Trust. Following extensive rehabilitation programme to reintroduce water meadows to support natural habitat the reserve has been reopened recently for the public. It is one of many little green gems in the middle of the big city. I was attracted by the clarity of the fast-flowing river when a lonely Canada goose (Branta canadensis) wondered into the frame.

Race Rocks Lighthouse was built in 1860 and is the second oldest lighthouse on the Canadian Pacific coast. It cast its first beam of light on December 26, 1860.
It is the only lighthouse on BC’s coast that is constructed of stone. Most of the stone that makes up the tower was quarried in Scotland, while the top third is made from sandstone from nearby Gabriola Island.
One of the most striking features of the lighthouse is its black and white stripes, something no other nearby lighthouses have.
The Canadian Coast Guard automated the lighthouse in 1997. Victoria-based Pearson College continues to staff the station. (orcaspirit.com)
If you squint, you can see two tiny triangles in the calmer section of water just below the house on the island. This was our only view of Harbour Porpoises!

The Prince Edward Point Lighthouse, built in 1881, is a squaretapered wooden lighthouse with an attached dwelling. The lighthouse is located on the eastern tip of Prince Edward Point, Ontario. Besides the combined 7.8-metre (26 foot) lighthouse and keeper’s residence, the lightstation also includes a detached shed. The lighthouse was automated in 1941 and operated until 1959 when it was replaced by a steel skeleton tower.
The lighthouse is associated with various shipwrecks that occurred in this area, colloquially called the “Graveyard of Lake Ontario”.
The Prince Edward Point Lighthouse supported the shipping industry, marking a safe avenue for commercial ships travelling through the waters of Lake Ontario for nearly 80 years. The lighthouse marks the only protected harbour for a distance of approximately 60 nautical miles.
Prince Edward Point Lighthouse was recognized as a Heritage Lighthouse in 2015. (Parks Canada)

The end of the trail at the Prince Edward Point Bird Observatory, the lighthouse is a good spot to look for sea ducks during migration, as well as gulls and cormorants. Over 300 species of birds have been recorded on the trails and lake.

Finally I managed to find and photograph my nemesis in the open for a few split seconds! These are among my favourite birds, that necklace is absolutely stunning!
These are among my favourite birds, inquisitive, interesting and so expressive, they are such a joy to photograph and watch in the north! Only the smartest birds can survive in such conditions, and the Canada Jay is certainly among the most intelligent.
The flooding of the meadows in the "Assebroekse Meersen" offers places to swim as well as rest for these Canada geese and other water fowl.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA Seventy-five million years ago, when dinosaurs walked the earth, southern Alberta was a subtropical paradise of towering redwoods and giant ferns. Today, fertile plains suddenly drop away into a world of multi-hued canyons and wind-sculpted hoodoos. Spanning east from Drumheller to the Saskatchewan border and south to the United States, this region is known as the Canadian Badlands. It is home to the largest deposits of dinosaur bones in the world.
