We were so fortunate to have a break in the clouds last night so that we could see the Christmas Star of 2020! I managed to get a few pictures before my fingers and camera froze completely! It was very windy and cold out! I also captured a few pics of the moon. If you look really closely you can see a baby's face (upper right hand side, and also there's a happy image of St. Nicholas (lower center)! I see something new every time I look!  Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Some of the amazing fall wildflowers that grow not too far from my home!

Here are a few pictures from a walk around my back yard on the first day of fall. There are still a few wildflowers in bloom! 

Here's a few more pics of wildflowers along the water near my home.  

One of my favorite wildflowers: the cardinal flower. They grow along the river banks. If you stay long enough, you will see hummingbirds stopping by for a little snack! 

Did you ever see a great blue heron scratching his head like a dog would?! I happened upon this fellow early one morning!

Beaver slapping his tail!  

Thought I'd start blogging! I have so many amazing pictures from kayaking and canoeing out back behind my property. We live on a small river.....a branch of the Rideau. My husband and I have been here for six years now. We've been canoeing it for over 35 years! I never get tired of it!
