This is only the 2nd day the Ottawa river has been frozen side to side and already there has been a kill on the #ice. It wasn't large enough to have been a deer and I didn't have time to send the drone out for a closer look. Here is the best shot I got of the two #Coyotes

Took Maggie for a nice long walk today. She gets more obedient every day, such a smart doggie.

Half way though my walk with #Maggie today, I found a decent size stick and broke it off into a good size for her. One would think I gave her a leg of lamb. She carried it all the way home and then played with it until I had to put her back inside. She was so proud of it. #dogs

Little #Maggie the neighbourhood dog I get to visit a few times a week as her Mom works all day. Here she is this afternoon working on her retreaving skills.

#Sammy #BlueJay coming in to the feeder this morning. Notice the slight break in feathers of his right wing. It's a wonder this doesn't happen more often, when you see the way they fly right into what looks like impenetrable bush. #NaturePhotography

Three shots to put an end to the day. I was watching these two #sailboats racing each other and one just had a jib flying the other main and jib. Jib only led the way. Then I saw these #geese coming my way. How beautiful. Then the #sun setting behind the trees on the other side.

Visiting wee #Maggie this afternoon. First she is just thinking about her new world, then she is exploring it. She is a keeper for sure.#NaturePhotography

Two treats from early this morning. The River from my deck and cobwebs in the field, same day as in past years.

Yesterday after the waterfalls, I just had a little light left to explore the eastern end of the park which gives you access to the river. The first is of a Killdeer, then two synchronized Egrets. I even did one sunset shot looking towards the Nepean Marina. I have to go back.

My good fortune while playing golf with some buddies this morning, I stumbled on this #GreenHeron and happened to have my camera in the bag. The feathers raised on his head indicates his displeasure in me finding his special place #NaturePhotography

Aug 27 at 7:10 pm the mother #deer and her #fawn came onto my property. I took the first 2 images through the window, but then the rest from the open door to the deck. I just spoke quietly to them and they stayed. The last image before they entered the bush was at 7:26 #Nature
