Blue Flag Iris in the sand dunes
The Blue flag grows in wet areas of woods and meadows and along shorelines of lakes, rivers and ponds — to the delight of cottagers and canoeists. This beautiful flower was growing in the sand dunes of Sauble Beach.
American Redstart Warbler pair
by Wendy | Jul 3, 2015 | Blog, Perching, Warbler, American Redstart #79, Warblers
A male and female … on another mosquito ridden path, pass me the bug spray, I would rather die a slow death of Deet poisoning than be carried away by mosquitos! We need more warblers, many more. These sing a loud and cheerful song, easy for me to hear, except they sound a lot like my phone. 
Wild Roses at the Beach
by Wendy | Jul 2, 2015 | Blog, Country Side
Stoping for a walk at a small beach on the Bruce Peninsula west shore, these beautiful roses were growing in the sand adding so much class where ever they grow. Simple and uncomplicated, perfect for the beach.
