January 25/ Nature Notes

On the northern shore of Lake Ontario

This is some of what Mother Nature had to offer this week.

Largest square: ice on the rocks at Bond Head. Moving clockwise: mallard on the snow-covered shore; dried weeds (evening primrose) still in fairly good condition; zillions of Canada geese flying this way and that way and...; ice on a shallow pond surrounded by green cedars and golden weeping willows and cattails; and a river edged in ice and dried grasses.

  1. love that selection of photos. Looks as though we are going to have a better day than we did yesterday. Did you venture out yesterday? I hibernated all day, heading to Shelburne this morning to run errands.

    Put some more wedding photos on my blog along with a couple of challenges I am taking part in, in February.

  11. Nice collage. I always wonder how the wildlife stays alive with all that snow and ice. Those ducks are a lot tougher than me.

  14. Mother Nature keeps on cookin' even in the dead of winter. And you keep on snappin' photos - beautiful photos.

    I won't mention snow. But I did think of you today as I rolled up to a red light next to a huge Ontario pickyup truck!
