I’m always looking for odd ball subjects to photograph. Here are a few things I’ve come across on my walks lately.

Birds and a Beaver
…more photos from my daily walks
Now that the weather is warming up I’m seeing more and more birds. Living next to the lake has always given me lots of opportunities to photograph the waterfowl, even in the winter but now that the weather is finally warming up (for a day or so and then it gets cold again) the number of birds is definitely increasing and their activity level is on the rise as they get ready to mate and build nests. Here are a few more birds that I’ve witnessed on my walks.
Another critter that I discovered this evening was a beaver that resides in the pond over at Col. Sam Smith Park. I knew that there were beavers there but I’d never seen one before today. At first is just looked like a rock sticking out of the water but I knew it had to be more than that based on the excitement of two other onlookers.

This is my granddaughter with her older cousin from her father’s side of the family. Thanks to my daughter for sending me this photo.
New Flower (April 13, 2019) – Sumac
….there’s something quite lovely when you look closely at these decaying sumac flowers
An Evening Walk
…today was a beautifully warm day and before dinner I needed to make up some steps to reach my goal
No wind, the setting sun and temperatures hovering around 10 degrees Celsius were ideal conditions for an evening walk through the neighbourhood. I headed west and entered Col. Sam Smith Park where I opted to walk through the naturalized area and over to the marina. Here are a few of the sites I encountered along the way.
Can you guess what that lump in the pond is?
When I returned home I prepared a simple supper of eggs, avocado and tomatoes.
Friendly Friday Photo Challenge – Raindrops
….thanks to Amanda for hosting the Friendly Friday Photo Challenge
I adore photos of raindrops. Since we’ve only just seen the last of our snow I had to dig into the archives for these photos.
A Photo a Week Challenge – Fire
….thanks to Nancy Merrill for hosting the Photo a Week Challenge
Every week I work with fire as we bake our bread for the inn and the Farmers’ Market in an outdoor bake oven. There’s also an old fireplace in the tearoom that we light when the weather is particularly cold. I couldn’t resist including the fire from my daughter’s birthday cake. I love how it illuminates our granddaughter’s face.
