Webbwood or Wendy Webb Fell Falls
Yep, I fell big time on a tippy piece of shale, it won. I was wet and bruised, the camera survived thank goodness! Located on the Bruce Trail near Heathcote Ontario in the Beaver Valley.
Siesta Key
Beautiful, the perfect holiday beach with white fine sand that went on forever. This photo was from my first night walking down the Beach with my hosts Pauline and Ron who I thank very much for their hospitality and putting up with my ridiculous birding.
Beaver River 40 year flood
The water flowing down the steps at Flesherton pond by the park gazebo
Beaver River at Beaver Valley Ski Club flowing through the cedars.
The Beaver River flowing over the bridges at Beaver Valley Ski club, a trench has been dug to attempt to save the bridges by rerouting the water, which immediately filled to capacity.
Eugenia Falls mist form the torrent of water
A rare look of the Eugenia Falls over flowing. The overflow dam was almost opened which would have resulted in evacuation of the valley.

Pressure Test at Blue Mountain
Every fall the ski resorts pressure test the snow making systems and turn all the guns on full blast misting the slopes with a fine spray of water. If any leaks developed under the high pressure of the pumps required to make snow during colder temperatures it can be more easily welded before the snow arrives.
Lunar Eclipse
The clouds blew by and I was able to get a few photos of the Lunar Ecipse, missed the return and the blood moon, but it was fun to photograph it anyhow.
Monarchs are here!
Walking around the wetlands I found four Monarch’s and a different looking dragon fly, all floating on the breezes. Did you know that Dragon Flies make similar migration journey’s to the Monarchs? Who knew? Makes them a little more fascinating. 3 photos.
Petral Point Orchids
All along the narrow winding board walk several Orchids can be found in a very short distance, a must see location for Orchids. 5 images.
Petral Point – Pitcher Plants & Linear Leaved Sundew
Yep, flat out on my belly to get these shots, and a lot of laughs… bug eating carnivorous plants, stuff kids nightmares are made of! 8 images below.
One Good Light
River Otter
I was so surprised when this big fellow barked at me I almost dropped my camera, it’s a wonder that I got a shot at all because he dove and was gone in a flash!
White-tail Fawn – which way?
Early morning just after dawn, I was driving along this country road when a doe with twins was slowly crossing the road. This little fawn is watching it’s mom leave, however is in a conundrum because it knows they just came from a safe place. I believe this is how deer get hit, they can’t decide to follow or go back to a place they know is safe. It decided to go with mom. Photo taken through my windshield. 
Yellow Lady’s-slipper
Small Yellow Lady’s Slipper has red petals behind the flower, Large Yellow Lady’s Slipper has green petals, can you see the difference? I think these are both red hmmmm….
Wet lands, shaded, mossy rich bogs, and you will find these late June along the sides of the trails. Always spectacular and a nice find.
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.
Wild Roses at the Beach
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.
English Lawn Daisy
One of my favourite flowers, I always think I am going to grow some on my wild lawn, but then I can’t bare to disturb the ones that I find.
Country Roads
Bowles Hill Road … today I texted my friend and avid Long Boarder, Barry in Calgary “so Barry if a group of six were at the top of Bowles Hill attempting to ride the hill on a skate board, should I stick around to call the Ambulance” he politely texted back “it would be like telling you there is a ski lift at the bottom of the ski hill and not to hit it” fair enough, I went an found a nice warbler to photograph instead of bodies. The hill is about 550 feet with a switch back and a T intersection at the bottom. I didn’t hear any ambulance sirens. New pavement, a long boarders paradise.
the Bluebirds home!
White Tailed Deer
Apple Farming
The flames caught my eye on the way to work today, no worries tho. Apple trees are trimmed every spring and the branches are routinely burned in a large bon fire.
Secret Trails
I was out taking photos at our pond, and along came Emma’s horse “Secret” to say hello. Looking kinda scruffy as she is shedding out her winter coat and enjoying rolling in the soft fields.
