Back Burner Productions is pleased to announce that their production of THE NIGHTWOOD, first produced in October 2008 at the Dufferin St. Theatre, will have a one-performance-only remount in the Luminato Festival!
Based on the award winning Toronto writer and illustrator Robin Muller's classic adaptation of the Celtic fairy tale of Tamlynne, and using such elements as puppets, masks, and stilts, THE NIGHTWOOD tells the tale of a young girl who defies her elders and enters the enchanted wood to dance.
**This is a FREE event, but seating is LIMITED TO THE FIRST 130 PEOPLE! So get there early!**
Recommended for ages 7 and up!

First time for a while that I've sat in the woods waiting to get photos of the woodland birds. Nuthatches and Great Spotted Woodpecker visited the location but didn't "smile for the camera" so had to do with a Robin shot and Coal Tit! ;)
Saw this young Robin on a rainy early June morning in my back yard. He was in a low tree so I ran back in the house to get my camera . You can see his parents were still feeding him even though he had left the nest as he still has one of the legs of his last snack stuck to his beak, LOL.
A little robin all fluffed up into a ball. They do look sweet when fluffed up - but don't be fooled into thinking they are well fed - it is all feathers.
The European robin (Erithacus rubecula), most commonly known in Anglophone Europe simply as the robin, is a small insectivorous passerine bird, specifically a chat, that was formerly classed as a member of the thrush family (Turdidae), but is now considered to be an Old World flycatcher. Around 12.5–14.0 cm (5.0–5.5 in) in length, the male and female are similar in colouration, with an orange breast and face lined with grey, brown upperparts and a whitish belly. It is found across Europe, east to Western Siberia and south to North Africa; it is sedentary in most of its range except the far north.
My first ever trip to Martin Mere with my new Panasonic 100-400mm lens.
Even though the day started in fog and continued to be cloudy, I am very happy with the shots taken with my new toy.
