The following are photos from the Ayer's Cliff fair by David
Some flowers from my garden (Beth)
 
Spring is springing and the red-winged blackbirds are calling
from the tree tops
the snow still lays deep on the garden...
This dove just landed on our window feeder
Mourning doves have such beautiful, subtle colouration
...as does this section of our wattle fence
this primrose in our kitchen window, is waiting for the soil
to warm up
On my way home from town the light was amazing and I took the next three photos
I took this treescape a few days ago, it is behind the house I grew up in
David walking Nelly - late afternoon before
the rain...
the field behind our house after a night
of freezing rain!
... our road looking cold but beautiful
...there was a thick layer of ice on every surface and when
the wind blew you could hear a delicious crackling sound all around
I woke one morning to a delightful scene! Knee high, fluffy snow!
Here are a few photos to show you what our
snow day looks like!
I had to do it! As a biologist I had to show you a few other
birds at our feeder. I promise this won't become a nature page (hmmm. maybe I need a new page for that!)
Well, I lie! I took this photo of a Carolina
wren at my parents feeder (not ours!) in Lindsay, Ontario in February. A pair has been feeding on peanut butter
there all winter. This is an uncommon sighting as normally these birds spend the winter much farther south
(this one was at our feeder!) This beauty
is a Pine grosbeak. A resident of the coniferous forests of the far north, these birds sometimes make their way
further south in the winter.
This year there has been an influx of Great Grey Owls and
we have been lucky enough to these rare and beautiful birds, the largest of the North American Owls, on 8 occasions
- so far. David caught this one sitting on a fence post
...and Colin spotted this fine fellow up a tree, so I took a few photos. Wow!
It was - 41C this January - with the wind chill factored in.
The weather inspired us to get out (and then quickly back in!) and take a few photos
