This little fellow added some colour to the winter landscape in Ojibway Nature Preserve near Windsor, Ontario. I believe it's an American Tree Sparrow

Zufällige Begegnung

I was going through old files and found shots taken on Franklin Island in Georgian Bay. The island is untouched Crown Land, with acres of beauty to explore. That beauty includes this Great Spangled Fritillary that completely ignored my camera shoved in its face. And that camera was my first digital one, a Canon A80 from 2003. It had a 4 MP sensor and a flippy screen! I had a lot of fun with that camera, and when it finally stopped working I moved to my first Nikon, the D90. That was passed on to a niece, but I'm not sure she'll ever use it. The little A80 might have stood a better chance!

This elk came up to the passenger side of our car and i jumped out and got this shot.

Landed next to me and didnt seem to be troubled by me

A curious male magpie hanging around while I was taking photos a couple of days ago. I know it is a male because the back of his neck is white. The females and younglings have mottled grey there instead of white.

I noticed that there were a lot of magpies around here at work, and wanted to make friends. So after some googling, I brought pumpkin seeds today as an offering and made friends with three female magpies.

Don't let the friendly fire fool you...as soon as the sun kissed the peaks goodnight the temperature dropped significantly. I had to Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah down the mountain to the cabin where the there was a real friendly fire waiting for me. I feel blessed to see views like this. It will be a sad day when I lose the courage to climb these peaks and enjoy it with my own eyes (I never see any old people up here) so for now, I will suck all the Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah out of it. LOL Exactly how I saw it with my back up camera.

People on one side and Nature on the other side.

The animal is ignorant of the fact that he knows. The man is aware of the fact that he is ignorant.

Another photo of a pair of Tree Swallows engaged in friendly chatter. You should justzpose the sentiment here with the angry one in This Photo. I believe it was the same "conversation."

Thanks for Viewing.

What makes the BrewCycle a fun experience is everyone smiles and waves at everybody. It's as if you're in a parade and the entire city treats it as such. Plus, I can imagine it's good exercise, too.

Happy Monochrome Monday, everyone!

Here's a fun shot. As I was walking past the dock at Eagles Lake, I saw an alligator slowly cruising through the water towards to dock. As I knew he often sunned himself there, I prepared myself to catch him lifting up. I was able to click off several shots. I think this is the best one. Actually, he was coming out to meet me and say hello. See him smile in anticipation!

We found this little guy and his brother and sisters in our woodpile. This is the 4th time we have had a feral or neighbor cat lay their kittens in our yard. Not sure what to do about this. They sure are cute though! HMBT & HSoS!

This was a fairly young one but really friendly. Born during one of the lockdowns so not really used to visitors but followed us up and down the fence and also pecked at the camera lens hoods where he left his slobber marks lol

Brown squirrel: You know, you shouldn't do drugs..

Black squire: No no no, I just fell into the snow OvO

Brown squirrel: Sure you did..

I couldn't resist :D

I caught this during a walk in the woods and at this spot I noticed these two squirrels. I had just enough time too take a photo of them both on my left and on my right :)

Thanks for your comments and support guys :)

Cheers

One of my good friends at Lake Alexandra in Mittagong.

My husband and I took our first walk around a local park since moving to Tulsa, Oklahoma last spring. We met the most friendly squirrel.
