Monster from another planet?

Wanted to share this with you...
Took a photo of a #jumpingspider this morning on the side of my garage.  Simply reversed the colour and the effect was out of this world!  The surface is pebbledash and although it looks like it would be rough terrain, this fury little guy was pretty nimble at moving around.

Found this in the garden

Found this #JapaneseBeetle in the #garden this morning.  It may be pretty to look at but it's just plain destructive.  

Volcano erupts in Niagara Falls

On #CliftonHill in #NiagaraFalls there is a mini-putt golf course, Dinosaur Adventure Golf, that is full of life size dinosaur replicas and a small volcano that spews forth a big ball of fire every few minutes.  When it does flame up, you can actually feel the heat it generates.  Even from the distance this photograph was taken, we could still feel the hot air from the fire rush by us.  It only lasts a second or two so you have to be patient if you want to take a picture of it 'erupting'.

Paddling across the sun

Down in #PortWeller hoping to get some good pictures as the sun set into #LakeOntario.  A paddler on a paddle board crossed my line of sight and improved my photo immensely.

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.

Togetherness: A pair of Canvasback Ducks enjoy some quiet time.

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.
