Porcupine/ Camera Critters

Staring me down

On the way to Port Cunnington, Ontario, my husband stopped the car to avoid hitting this ambling porcupine. My camera begged me to jump out and take a photo. By the time I reached this guy or gal, it had made it to grassy, leafy ground and was determined to stare me down.

 Its back is up to make itself look bigger

Nice, Porky!
I got the picture and slowly moved away.

FYI: Tee hee! Yes, I know I typed  EG Woe into McLinky. It should read EG Wow... or Whoa, not Woe. Darn my naughty fingers! :)

Sandpipers/ Weekend Reflections

Lesser Yellowlegs (I believe)

A few sandpipers have taken up residence in a shallow pond near my house. They wouldn't let me get very close and the light was dreadful...but the shadows were good. I have never seen sandpipers here before (I was looking for ducks!) so I was (and still am) excited.
