Love the "shaking off", not sure what kind of bird it was.  If you recognize it - let me know.

Primitive Designs - put this on your "must visit" list when your in the Port Hope area.

Transformer display outside - lots to see inside -  on Hwy.28 in Port Hope.

Sometimes you'd think the squirrel was actually posing for a picture...

Amanita mushrooms in the woods a visual standout!

This may be Amanita muscaria - a striking beauty on the forest floor we came across, although I'm not up on my mushroom identification - looks poisonous!

Snow tracks on the first day of Spring

Jack Frost paints giant snowflakes on the truck window

Interesting reflection of the sunrise on the truck window showing off Mr. Jack Frost's artwork

After brushing the snow off the truck this morning I noticed these frosty designs on the window that looked like giant snowflakes and with the sun rising behind me, it created an interesting effect.
