A real goatee

Shells on the beach

Waverly Beach in Fort Erie has large masses of these little shells washed up on the sands of the beach.  A lot of geometric designs and colours.  It was a 'crunchy' walk.

White-tailed deer, aptly named.

Out for a ride near Apsley.  The deer were plentiful and not too skiddish allowing me to grab a bunch of pictures.

Are you aware of the late night frolicking that takes place here? I've heard the stories...

A magical place. Sandstone Island Trail, Charleston Lake PP

It is said that late at night, when the moon's just right, they come to life and dance about.

Pileated Woodpecker

While camping at #Charleston Lake Provincial Park we stopped in a small bay to listen for wildlife when this pileated woodpecker flew in and landed about 10' from the shore on this rotting birch.  We were able to watch it for about a half hour. The bugs must have been plentiful.  Will post a video on my youtube channel.  He/she was very focused on the task at hand!

Found these on the Mexican Hat Flower.- crazy suckers.

Looks like Green Apple Aphids as far as I can tell.

Osprey chick.

I think I see Mom coming with supper...

Feeding time, yeah! - thanks Mom.

Oh those darn red squirrels are just so photogenic...

Hitching a ride

While out canoeing this past Sunday, a dragonfly lands on Liz's arm and stayed for awhile.  She could see those little pincers working away - like it was trying to pick something off her skin.
