Chickadee

Another snapshot taken at camp - it looks like he was posing for me

Bird feeder wannabe

This is after a bear broke the piece of plywood off the post which was being held there by two long screws.

Goldfinches

This photo was taken before a bear broke the platform off the feeder

Moose

We saw this gal on our way to camp this weekend

On the rock cut

Deb taking a picture of me taking a picture of them

On the rock cut, again

They climbed up there to take pictures of the scenery. Check Deb's blog to actually see the pictures she took

Sunflower

I can't take credit for planting the seed for this flower, BUT I did provide the seeds so that a squirrel could plant it.

Black bear

This was taken on one of our weekly trips to the dump. He's not a full grown bear - probably born the winter of '04/'05

Hummingbird

This picture was taken at camp.

Building the railing

Once we got rid of the hornet's nest we concentrated on building the railing for the deck out at camp

Spray those damn hornets

Mark really wanted to spray the hornets nest - between him & Debby, they got the job done and noone was stung

Hornet's nest

As soon as we arrived at camp a neighbour came over & told us about the hornet's nest we have under the edge of the deck. I had previously seen hornets buzzing around at that end of the deck but didn't think anything of it. (the white on the lower part of the nest is "Raid" - we later got some spray foam made specifically for nests like these). This nest is no more.

Amazing light show

This was taken from my living room window last night. You have to be patient with your finger on the trigger. No trick photography here, no time elapsed, just patiencce.
