Cottage country fun and water frolic

We're off to the city for more medical stuff. I doubt I'll have time to canoe on this, National Canoe Day! The appointment isn't until the afternoon, they always run late, and it takes us 2 hours to get home from the city. Here is a post for canoeists...

Bambi peeks out from behind a tree,
Buster watches, wagging his tail.
I posted the video of it below!

It was a good day's work outside.
My cap caught 22 deerflies!
Popped my cap upside down
 in the goldfish pond,
they had a feast!

Sadie on the path leading to the meadow.
She was watching for her friend, Chipmunk.

Bambi following Buster
Buster and his twin, Felix, used to go walkies with me.
Buster wasn't the same when Felix was killed.

Off I went for an afternoon canoe ride. Four loons, boaters, worried Eastern Kingbirds nesting on an island in a tree, and a heron flew by.

Hubby bought me a 'close eyes!'
He made me go out to the car,
while I closed my eye,
he opened the trunk!
What a treat!

Daisy in the daisies.
I couldn't get her any closer. The deerflies are
totally harassing her, she preferred the shade.

Back home, there was a surprise!

It's that time of year! Horses everywhere...

Horsefly

See the colours in its wings

Yes, they are biting, those mosquitoes, and, whilst gardening, I was harassed by a horsefly.

Big twerp.

No mind. I have birds about.

Lovely birds that eat millions of bugs for us every day!

What a busy king of the castle!

 This kingbird was picking bugs off of the driveway and front yard. Bless its little soul. It was working very hard, like a jet fighter pilot.

I went down to LAWS and spotted these horses grazing in the field.

The horses kept moving, but had to scratch some, too!

Everyone suffers from the bugs!

Wait for me, Mom!

That's my Mom!

Sorry, no treats for you!

And off it went...
