Waccatee Zoo, Pt. 3

Welcome Back!

Sorry for the delay in posting! I missed Friday's usual post as Keturah had a PA day and so we headed to Kingston to do some errands, shopping, etc. Saturday we had a family dinner with Kevin's family..a great visit and good eats! Sunday we headed to Kingston for some shopping and we walked along the water at the parks on the way there...I took some photos of baby ducks, but missed the geese babies! Maybe next weekend!

This time I'm highlighting more of the Zoo shots. These include the Cattle Egrets in the first three photos. The first photo shows them all nesting or getting ready to nest...this area is a breeding ground. Other shots include a black swan, some ducks and some peccaries, or small pig critters. The little ones are always so cute as they get running around chasing each other, just like human kids! :-)

More on Friday! Have  a great week!

Alligator Adventure: Feathered Friends

Welcome Back!

This time I have some photos of the pretty birds found at the Alligator Adventure in Myrtle Beach. They include macaws, snuggling in the first photo, a bunch of my favourite shots of the swans, who were following us around the pond (we had corn) and a couple of emus. The emus are found on the trail around the whole Adventure. It's a nice walk around there as you can see other farm animals and more alligators of course!

Well, I'm sure glad this week is almost over..it's been tiring with appointments and getting up early! I don't know how I managed to do all these appointments and work before! :-)

This weekend, will find me sorting through some spring clothes to launder and pack as we leave next Friday morning! I can't wait..I'm so ready to ditch this snow!

I'll have another post early next week! Enjoy your weekend!

Alligator Adventure: Birds, Birds, Birds!

Welcome Back!

This time I'm highlighting some birds from the Alligator Adventure. I'm not sure what kind the first two are... I was aiming to get a "foot" shot of the first bird..it's got really big feet! The rest of the shots are ducks and swans.

Next time I'll have more alligator shots..almost done with them!

This week has been crazy..we've had more snow days then school days! Brooke and I managed to hang out at the mall the other day and the gym yesterday! Today I had an appointment with Career Edge for help with the job hunting. I think I'll be doing HTML/CSS homework all weekend as I'm a bit behind! :-(  Brooke heads back on the train on Sunday. Wow, the week sure went by fast!

Have a great weekend!

Alligator Adventure: Birds

Welcome Back!

This time I'm highlighting some birds shots from the Alligator Adventure. These include the macaws, some pretty swans and a couple of duck pictures. I have a bunch more of the ducks and small birds, so I'll highlight them some time soon as well...next week- more alligators!

Well, I can't believe it is Friday already! Time sure flies! I got some good news yesterday, my Uncle can move to a nursing home closer to us..to Friendly Manor in Deseronto..so that is a big relief.  I had a meeting in Westlake yesterday and it took me 55 mins both ways for a 10 minute meeting! SIGH..Oh well, I had a short visit with my Uncle until it started snowing, so I headed home. I'll see him this weekend again to get him packed up and ready to move on Monday!

Well, finally a weekend with no scheduled snowfall or snowstorm! YAY! Now, what to do?

Enjoy your weekend!

Wacatee Waterfowl

Welcome Back! Wow, I can't believe it's been over 2 weeks since my last post! Time sure flies when you are having fun! We had another great holiday, visiting Grand Manan again and Salem, Mass for the first time. Lots of fun adventures along the way and of course, some great photos too!

I haven't gone through all the photos yet, so this week I'm including some photos of waterfowl creatures from the Wacatee Zoo. Lots of bird pictures from this place, so guess what's on the schedule for next week? Yep, more birds! Great Egrets! :-)

1st photo-Duck

2nd-5th-Swans (my fave is the last photo!)

Enjoy, more next week!

Birds of Presquile

Hello Everyone! Today I am sharing some photos of birds that I took at Presquile Park a couple of weeks ago.

1st pic-a bunch of swans flying overhead...

2nd pic-a cute swan family with 2 babies just grabbing a snack in this swampy area

3rd pic-another swan family with 4 babies. I took about 100 photos of these guys and this is the best photo I got---try getting 1 decent photo of the 6 of them! This is why I do not shoot portraits!

4th pic-a lone swan near the entrance of the park

5th pic-a hummingbird getting a snack

6th pic-the same bird having a SHORT rest on a branch after snacking-these are the ONLY shots I've ever gotten of a hummingbird...they are just too darn fast, or I'm too slow!

7th pic-a warbler of some kind, having a short break after eating at the bird feeder

Have a great week!
