Lemoine's Point Conservation Area

Kingston, Ontario


Welcome back!

This week I'm highlighting some birds from the Lemoine's Point Conservation Area. The area has lots of trails, so you can take a shorter one or the longer one...we usually do the longer one as it's still under 2 hours...there are probably longer ones, but that's the main one that we try to stick to each time. 

These are photos of the Black-Capped Chickadee (first 7 photos)  and the White-Breasted Nuthatch (last 2 photos).

These are quite common on our walks any time of the year, but these were taken last April...hard to believe it's been that long! They are quite comical birds and we love watching them and of course, feeding them..They love peanuts, but we usually have sunflower seeds. They will dig through the seeds looking to see what else is there, hoping for peanuts I'm guessing!

Have a great week!

Niagara Falls Butterfly Conservatory, Pt.9

Niagara Falls, ON


Welcome Back!

This week I have the last of the actual butterfly photos from the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls. I also have some shots of the actual conservatory, which could be interesting for those of who haven't been there, but maybe not so much for those that have! So, we will see if I post them next week or not...depends on the time I have, which is sometimes in short supply near the holidays!

I'll keep this short as my headache is coming back, so I need to give my eyes a rest and take some Tylenol...I hope I don't get the bad cold going around...

Have a great week!

Niagara Falls Butterfly Conservatory, Pt. 8

Niagara Falls, Ontario


Welcome Back! I'm finally back from a longer-then-expected time off!

If it wasn't one thing, it was another, but I think I'm finally back as I missed blogging and editing photos, etc.etc.

I have a few more weeks of pics from the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls and then I'll find something else to highlight...I think I have a few ducks/herons, etc, etc.

Have  a great week!

Niagara Falls Butterfly Conservatory, Pt.7

Welcome Back!

Sorry I was MIA for a few weeks...was busy working on a website, not feeling well and preparing my photography for an Art Show that is coming up this month! Busy, busy month, so this may be my one and only post until later this month!

Again, I'm showing off photos of the very pretty butterflies from the conservatory in Niagara Falls...hard to believe that was 1.5 years ago already....seems like we were just there..I love Niagara Falls, it's always so scenic, no matter what time of year you go!

If you are local to the area, the Art Show is taking place at the Community Centre in Tyendinaga and is October 22nd and 23rd from 10am-4pm...Come check it out~It's FREE admission too!

Anyway, have a great few weeks and I'll be back soon....

Niagara Falls Butterfly Conservatory, Pt.6

Niagara Falls, Ontario


Welcome Back!

This time I have more butterflies from the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls...I'll likely have a few more weeks of butterfly shots, so please hang in there!

Hard to believe the Labour Day Weekend came and is almost gone already! I took Friday off for an extra long weekend and boy, was it restful..I did the usual chores/cleaning, hiking, shopping and even some crafting! It was a quiet weekend as Brooke was away visiting the BF and Keturah was busy too! I guess we better get used to the empty nest again as Brooke is leaving for University on Wednesday (I think)! 

Have a great week!

Niagara Falls Butterfly Conservatory, Pt. 5

Niagara Falls, Ontario



Welcome back! 

This week I have more of the butterflies from the conservatory in Niagara Falls. I've been there several times and very seldom do I get the "same" shot of them...they are always moving and landing on different things..sometimes even people!

Well, we had a great holiday on Grand Manan Island. We picked a good week to go as it was soo hot here...There, the hottest day was 23! My kind of weather! We wore sweaters almost every day, especially in the mornings and the evenings. 

Have a great week!

Niagara Falls Butterfly Conservatory, Pt.4

Butterfly Conservatory, Niagara Falls, Ontario


Welcome Back!

This time I'm highlighting more photos of butterflies and their surroundings from the Butterfly Conservatory in Niagara Falls.  These include a little bit of everything! This post alone, shows some of the many different species you are able to find in this building! Always a good time!

Anyway, this will be my last post for a couple of weeks as we are headed down east to my favourite Island of Grand Manan in New Brunswick. I am so looking forward to the break and getting away too! Only 3 days of work this week for me! Yay!

Have a great couple of weeks!
