Tripping around the region

This is an archive photo 

–from our backyard!

March 3rd

It was a rather less than stellar wildlife trip. It is impossible walking in the forest. I noticed few tracks on the fields, except for the foxes who trip the light fantastic on the top of the snow.
Terrible walking. What the heck - lets go for a drive!
I spotted a few turkeys sitting in a forest in the sun, but didn't get a drive-by photo.
 It's a good day to hunker down with your friends.

A beautiful, sunny day!

Whoops. Dead end! "Not maintained by the county!"

"Playfairville!"  The Mississippi River, Ontario! Hubby sat in the car, whilst I leapt out to photograph the dark, dark blues and blacks of the river!

Daycation highlights: drive-by shootings

We took a Daycation to Kingston. Just before we left, I captured the Phoebe still debating the efficacy of their new nest site. (I'm crossing my fingers!) It is a nice, safe spot.
"But dear, what about the old nest?"
"I told you, I want a new one!"
"But the old one was totally fine!"
"I want fresh moss, and a new location, with nicer neighbours!"

We walked around
Chaffey's Lock.
Photos to come.

Gillian GPS took us on the backroads. It was a lovely day.
There were a number of fun drive-by shootings
on the road. Some mysteries...

Beautiful, historic resort for sale.
Closed for 2014.

They flew right across our path.
I have to ID them.

Turtles sunbathing, I love them!

Lunch involved a sangria, as well as pasta.

a bee keeper was working.

Watching soccer in the Cateraqui mall!

Spectator sport!

Cottage Islands in Lake Ontario and St. Lawrence River

We took a trip to Ganonoque, and I am always amazed at the little islands that have cottages on them. Part of it is on the St. Laurence R. and one is a resort. It was a lovely day to get out and do some drive-by shootings! These little spots would be places where people couldn't survive in the good old days. I'm not sure I'd survive on these teeny little islands. These are busy waters!
