House wren
The house wren is a new bird for me. They have been busy taking ownership of a wee birdhouse.I've been watching them from the kitchen window. So was Hooper! Watching them, I mean. It is a perfect location for the nesting box. We've been here 8 years, and the only other guests were chickadees one year.
Road trip
Anyway, we took off to Carleton Place to pick up supplements for JB on Sunday. I waved in your direction, AC!We rather ambled from Perth to Carleton Place.
There were several three-wheel motorcycles. I guess it's a good option for some.
Lots of old barns.
This poor woman's two little black dogs had fled the yard. I hope she found them. They weren't on the road, which we told her. It's right across from a large forest.
The swamps and marshes are greening up!
OK, this image could spur a story. It sort of looked like a man carrying... a body?!
It was a drive-by photo shoot, and zooming in does not help!
The rivers and creeks continue to be high, but flood waters are receding. I feel badly for those affected.
A veggie garden in the making.
Hooper's street! I just noticed it.
I wonder what they are doing in this spot!
The traffic on a Sunday afternoon on highway #7 was heavy.
This is a walking trail, near to a horse farm. What an idyllic spot. It's an old train track, right beside a river and a riding stable.
Swollen river
The trees are in bloom. What a great spot to sit and watch the world go by.
Lots of homes are needing repairs.
This home is for sale. A great spot to watch the geese. This is Jebbs Creek.
Just about home, JB spotted a turtle. We turned around in our driveway, it was just back up the road. Happily, there are good people in the world. Another couple had done the same thing. He gave me a thumbs up from where he parked across the highway!
Safely home, Hooper had 🕷️TICKS 2019 #3. More on the duckling hatching tomorrow. I'm still processing it.

Yes, that was an amble. :)
Hello, looks like a nice road trip. The House wren is cute and I love the turtle. Wishing you a happy day!
I watched carefully when we passed the turtle crossing on the way north from Vancouver to Powell River on Sunday. I've yet to see a turtle there either on the road or on the snags in the pond, but hope springs eternal. - Margy
great outing, and the little birdhouse, will wait and see what happens there.
You wonder what the turtles think about being picked up.
Oh neat, look at that turtle! I never see them anymore...sad! Your photos are amazing, honestly...that photo of the man with the "dead body"...seriously reminds me of some movies I've seen lol!
The road trip looked like a pleasant drive. I was visited by a purple finch couple. They were using the lilac bush for shelter from the rain or so it seemed.
Your trips take in a wide variety of topics. Interesting!
Jenn - turtles need all the help they can get, so bravo for making sure it was safe. Ugh, ticks! I found one on myself at night after going to bed - actually woke me up! If there is any blessing, it is that ticks in Montana don't carry Lyme disease.
