The Pollinated Bee


I noticed what appeared to be white coloured bees collecting pollen from the rose of sharon.
Upon a closer look, the bees were getting covered from "head to toe" or should I say from "antenna to stinger" with pollen.

Too bad the flowers don't last very long.

Saw this coyote crossing a field yesterday near Niagara Falls.

The coyote tries to assess the danger of me standing there.  He was not taking any chances and trotted away shortly after I took the picture.  March 10, 2015 @ 6:22 pm  Cloudy, low light.

The Moon and Venus tonight shared the sky.


We were at the Pendale Plaza tonight and got this shot of the Moon and Venus. The "M" is for Mars which would be in the picture be it not for the fact I took this picture with my cellphone... (or else Mars is hiding behind it's namesake letter) At least the skies stayed clear after sunset.  Hope you got to see them sharing the sky tonight!

A nice looking woodpecker - first one I've seen around here in Niagara.  Most welcome to become a regular visitor to the feeder.

The 'Artful' Female Mallard Duck


Shooting duck pictures at Happy Rolph's (as all other creatures were absent this day).
Tried for a more artful approach capturing the movement of rings in the water.
What do you think?
