….tried using my big camera to get some macro shots but only one turned out
I’m having more luck with my Lumix Panasonic camera but when it comes to macro shots it’s been hit or miss. Now I have to admit I was using my zoom lens because I wanted to get some close-up shots of the birds in the park. Next time I’ll try with my macro lens. The other shots were taken with my iPhone.

The Dufferin Islands are just up the road from the Horseshoe Falls in Niagara Falls. It is a sanctuary for walkers and birds alike and is probably largely unknown to most tourists. The walk takes you over a series of bridges and ponds where marsh birds love to hang out. It is truly a hidden gem that is right under your nose if you take the time to look and explore.
….I’m hoping Becca Givens returns soon to continue hosting this challenge
Spring has officially started but in my neck of the woods there are still no leaves or blossoms on the trees.
….spring is officially here
…some wonderful finds in High Park, Toronto
Today was another beautiful day in Toronto; sunny and warm (for March) and the paths and roads were dry and clear of ice and snow. I was in search of the red tail hawk that I saw last week but I saw no signs of him. Instead I spent the two hours taking photos of trees, squirrels, broken bits of picnic tables, stadium lights, fences and birds. On my travels throughout the park I came across some lovely sculptures a statue and a memorial stone cross.

Today in High Park the squirrels were out and about, running up and down trees and through the tall grasses. I had my telephoto lens with me and was able to capture these beauties.
….the first flowers that I’ve seen this season rising up from the hard winter ground
I know these look like dandelions but they are actually yellow coltsfoot.
….I need to get these out earlier in the day
