One of the Highland ponies brought in for conservation grazing at SWT Montrose Basin. Masquerading as a Unicorn by walking in front of the fencepost. (Only noticed the fencepost when loading to laptop, so 0 out of 10 for composition at the time!)
Excerpt from ontarioconservationareas.ca/conservation-areas/rockway/:
Part of the Niagara Escarpment and offers history and beauty in a remote setting. Hike the trail into the Fifteen Mile Creek valley to experience mature Basswood, Sugar Maple, Black Walnut and Sycamore trees.
Two spectacular waterfalls plunge from heights of 19.5 meters and 12.2 meters. The watercourse continues downriver, surging over a series of rapids. Boasting some of the best quality and quantity of salt in Ontario, the salt spring dates as far back as 1792.

One of the surprising things about Vegas is how much water there is here. Certainly, long term water conservation is really important, but I never expected to find the springs and wetlands scattered all over the valley. This is at Wetlands Park, just a couple of miles from the strip. Off to Lake Las Vegas to watch a band this evening.

Rochester Michigan puts initiatives in place to protect trees and preserve green space throughout the city.
This gives us access to beautiful parks and streams like the "Paint Creek" shown here flowing through the Rochester Municipal Park.

Bright Eyes
Song by Art Garfunkel
Is it a kind of a dream
Floating out on the tide
Following the river of death downstream
Oh, is it a dream?
There's a fog along the horizon
A strange glow in the sky
And nobody seems to know where it goes
And what does it mean?
Oh, is it a dream?
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes
Is it a kind of a shadow
Reaching into the night
Wandering over the hills unseen
Or is it a dream?
There's a high wind in the trees
A cold sound in the air
And nobody ever knows when you go
And where do you start?
Oh, into the dark
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes
Bright eyes, burning like fire
Bright eyes, how can you close and fail?
How can the light that burned so brightly
Suddenly burn so pale?
Bright eyes
Visited what I would consider to be the most beautiful conservation area I've ever been to in Southern Ontario. If you're willing to trek up the rather steep slopes to the top of the limestone escarpment, you are treated to this magnificent view of the Eramosa River and surrounding countryside. Reminds me very much of Georgian Bay.
Thank you, my kind Flickr friends, for visiting my site and taking the time to leave a comment. Truly appreciated!

Tiffany Falls Conservation Area is considered a significant natural area. Its bedrock exposures are considered an Earth Science Area of Regional Significance. The central feature of the conservation area is the two waterfalls within it, Tiffany Falls and Washboard Falls, formed by Tiffany Creek.
The area provides a link between the green space corridor along the Niagara Escarpment through the Hamilton urban area, and the extensive natural areas of the Dundas Valley.

One of Dayton's Five Rivers Metro Park conservation areas. The 416 acres have a bike hike trail, ponds and some small marshes. Busy place the other morning.
"The Golden Hour"
Moose of Grand Teton
Moose are the largest member of the deer family and love cold weather. They frequent marshy meadows and edges of lakes and streams. About 800 Moose inhabit the southern part of Yellowstone, Grand Teton National Park and surrounding national forests. Moose are most heavily concentrated in Grand Teton Park.
To keep from sinking in mud while feeding, as the animal lowers its foot, a large dewclaw spreads to better support the weight. Similarly, the odd-looking crook of the hind leg allows a Moose to pull the leg straight up, more easily releasing it from deep, sucking mud.
Bull Moose lose their antlers anytime between December and March. Most of the Moose drop them in January. Immature bulls may not shed their antlers for the winter but retain them until the following spring. Female Moose do not have antlers.
A new set of antlers begin to grow the following spring, nourished by the covering of furry skin known as velvet. They take three to five months to develop fully – the velvet is then scraped and rubbed off against bushes and branches. The antlers are then ready for battle. Generally, each set of antlers will be larger than the one before.
Birds, carnivores, and rodents eat dropped antlers as they are full of protein and Moose themselves will eat antler velvet for the nutrients.
Take note—cow Moose with young can be particularly dangerous.

This is a field of cattails, at the former Mount Albion Conservation Area. I like the contrast it had on a grey fall day.
Fritter the Grizzly Bear
The Grizzly Bear (Ursus arctos horribilis), also known as the North American brown bear or simply Grizzly, is a population or subspecies of the Brown Bear inhabiting North America.
Grizzlies, like black bears, come in a variety of colors. They can range from blond to nearly black. Sometimes they have silver-tipped guard hairs that give them a "grizzled" appearance. Grizzlies often have a dished-in face and a large hump of heavy muscle above the shoulders. Their claws are around four inches long. Grizzlies usually weigh around 300-600 pounds but can grow up to 1,400 pounds. Adult Grizzlies can be six feet or more when standing on hind legs, and three to four feet when standing on all fours. Based on a multi-year DNA study, it's estimated that there are roughly 750 grizzly bears living within the Greater Yellowstone Area.

This was a beautiful day last summer, Peter & I decided to go for a little stroll on the Elmley Marshes (Isle of Sheppey), it is an RSPB sanctary & a haven for many different birds, we walked a lot further than we intended, past the bird hides, we came across this little building, have no idea what it was used for but an ideal prop for a photographer..............we weren't far away from civilization but could have been in the middle of nowhere, it was so peaceful.
