A winter visit to Kejimkujik National Park in Nova Scotia always brings photographic rewards as the wildlife is much calmer and more focussed on finding food than worrying about me and my camera. This deer was curious, though, as we were quietly and patiently waiting for the right moment. She features on my ‘Animals’ gallery.
Badger sincerely wants to wish everyone a happy Caturday. The most sincere cat you would ever hope to meet, she’s been with us for 2.5 years now and will be 9 in February. From the moment she arrived from her hard working life to live with us, she settled right in and was the epitome of gentle kindness. She never seemed to mind her name changes – from originally being Clover through Aja to finally Badger. Have a great weekend, friends.
My Animals photo gallery is here if you want to see more.
This is the furthest east point of North America, one of the two lighthouses there – the more modern one. For Silent Sunday, as it must be, when it’s not blowing. Have a good Sunday, friends.
Rupert was, quite simply, the greatest cat. If he were here today, I’m sure he would wish you all a happy Caturday, friends, as do I. I hope yours is a good one.
It’s always the orange ones.
These cold and bleak fall days our wild and honey bees are nowhere to be seen, so it’s lovely to look back on the halcyon summer days when this scene was so common. Who would have thought milkweed flowers were so lovely? Have a lovely day, friends.
This was taken with my 180mm macro lens.
It’s time to introduce our two Cornish Rex cats for the animal lovers visiting my site. Aja, above, is a retired breeding girl of 6 years old and Claudia, below, is her daughter, one and a half years old.
This little male Philadelphia Vireo has spent the past two days trying to get into my sitting room through a closed window. (Pretty sure this is what this is, according to my bird app.) I guess he is seeing his reflection in the window and thinks it’s a rival male needing to be driven off.
In November 2003 I took a trip with Ellie and her brother to Montreal, where they were born and grew up. One cold, clear night Gary and I walked around the streets of the city to where I took this photograph of Saint Joseph’s Oratory with the stars over the dome. I posted the photograph on Google+ in 2012 and was asked yesterday where it had gone. I’m glad I was asked as it’s a favourite of mine and brings back such good memories of our time together.
We are all hoping that soon spring flowers will be making their appearance, so I am sharing this photograph of tulips taken in Karlsruhe Germany many years ago to cheer us through the snowstorm to come tomorrow.
