More Canadian Geese

Amherstview, ON

Welcome Back!

This week I have more Canadian Geese and a lot of single shots of the goslings...It is always very hard to get just one baby in a shot by itself as you can see from the 6th picture, where there seem like a million of little ones! Just wanted to include that one for perspective! The last pic is a cute family pic of the Canadian Geese.

These were taken at Fairfield Historical Park, where several families of geese and ducks make their home or at least visit on a daily basis! 

Have a great week!

Canadian Geese & Families

Amherstview, ON

Welcome Back!

Sorry for the delay again in posting! I have no excuse, just that I was busy with my crafts and it was good to take a much needed summer break! I have missed my photos and posting to the blog however, so hopefully, I am back for awhile!

I managed to get out on a couple of tours this summer..one was the puffin tour...I have been wanting to go for so long and finally got to go and then it was too windy to land on the island, so we were just able to tour around it in a small skiff! I did manage to get some great pics though, so all is good--I will definitely try again next year!

When Brooke and Carter were down in August, we went on a whale watch cruise and did get to see some whales...we saw a pod of fin whales and some minke whales. We also saw some seals and a lot of sea birds too. I'll try to post these within the next year! haha

Today, I am posting some pics from 2015, taken at the Fairfield Historical Park in Amherstview. This was a popular walking trail for us as it was short and sweet and we always saw ducks, geese, etc.

In the spring there are tons of geese and their babies and here are some pics of them! More next time too!

Have a great week!

More From The Toronto Zoo

Toronto, Ontario

Welcome back and Happy New Year! I can't believe we are in 2018 already..time flies when you are having fun, I guess!

We enjoyed our time visiting family in Ontario, but it sure was cold there as well as a ton of snow, which we were lucky enough to drive thru...I say that sarcastically! :-)

Anyway, we are now home and relaxing a bit before we are back to work...

Here are some different animals this time, some wild, some not so...

The first three pics are of the Greater Kudu, who is found in the African Savanna area. The next pic and the only good one I got is of the River Hippopotamus who is also from Africa. The rest of the pics are of a Canadian Goose family and its various members, who were out enjoying the sun with a swim through one of the water areas. Too cute not to take a couple of pics, right?

Enjoy your week!

More Canadian Geese & Goslings

Napanee, Ontario

Welcome Back!

Sorry I've been MIA...I had a client meeting two Sundays ago and last Sunday I had a cold and dozed off and on all day....I know, excuses, excuses! :-)

I'm back this week with more of the Canada geese family. The babies are just so darn cute. I was surprised actually at how big these ones were...the mothers must keep them hidden for awhile. I've not seen very small geese babies up close before!

The countdown is on til my holidays. We are off for a week in April...right before Easter. Kev and I are heading East...Can't wait! We have not been there in the spring before, so it should be interesting...also, looking forward to viewing some property while we are there!

But, I should be back next Sunday with more geese pics, then after that, some heron shots! 

Have a great week!

Happy Family Day!

Napanee, Ontario

Welcome Back and Happy Family Day!

It just so happened that I was starting the waterfowl this week anyway, but better way to celebrate Family Day, than with a family of geese! These two parents were swimming around with all their babies...I counted 18! Wow, I found it hard keeping track of two when my kiddies were babies! :-)

Anyway, these were taken in June 2015 at the Napanee Conservation Area Park (or the waterfall park as we affectionately call it!) I have a "few" more to highlight over the next few weeks and then some of the beloved heron...

We spent most of Saturday with the girlies as Brooke is home for Reading Week...we had a nice lunch at Wild Wings and then went for a walk in the park...After, we watched a movie and played cards too! Not too bad a day considering I had to work Saturday morning! :-(

More next time....Have a great week!

Canadian Geese

Welcome Back!

This time I'm highlighting all photos of the Canadian Goose including a few headshots..I love getting closeups of any kind of wild animal! These were taken at the same place along Lake Ontario going towards Kingston in June.

Well, this week will be a bit busier than usual. Finishing up that dreaded Christmas shopping..my kids keep giving me ideas..they always do this!! I also had a lovely visit to my dentist today for a cleaning. Brooke comes home on Thursday on the train..I can't wait! On Friday I get to have lunch with two of my bestest friends, Lynn and Melissa and because it's a PA day, we will have my two girls and Melissa's son to hang out with too! Should be a fun luncheon!

Have a great week and I'll probably post again on the weekend...more geese/duck photos!
