On my drive out to Lockport the other day, I saw a hot air balloon floating in the sky. I remembered the day I finally had a ride in that balloon. I say finally – because it took several bookings before the weather was just right, but it was worth the wait. After that thought,… Continue reading A Walk Around Kildonan Park

Morning Stroll at Fort Whyte Alive

Living in the middle of a city, I have found that I need to spend time in nature as often as I can. Listening to critter sounds is what I need, instead of traffic or people yelling or sirens. I like to just stroll along casually, listening to or watching the birds and any other… Continue reading Morning Stroll at Fort Whyte Alive

Yesterday, I showed you the Pelicans at Fort Whyte Alive and today it is time for some ducks. It was a beautiful morning for a stroll and most of the critters were fairly co-operative.  More to come tomorrow.

A Little Walk

Yesterday, I had absolutely nothing scheduled except for laundry, so after the laundry was done, I went for a walk along the Seine River.  I just brought my little camera that does’t have a lot of zoom, since it fits into my pocket. First thing I found was on a tree trunk just behind my… Continue reading A Little Walk

Wood Ducks and a Surprise in the School Grounds

Posted in birds, pets, Red River2 Comments

I don’t know if this is the same Wood Duck family that Chester and I saw several days ago on the Red River, or not.  If it is the same family, it looks like 3 ducklings are missing but  they are sure growing.  Maybe the others were still foraging on the ground and I just… Continue reading Wood Ducks and a Surprise in the School Grounds

Wood Ducks

We’re having a beautiful morning here.  The sun is shining, the temperature is 21C and there is a slight breeze.  Chester and I watched a Wood Duck and her 7 ducklings swimming on the Red River.  They stayed nicely in line, so I could get them all in my pictures.
