Retired since March of 2022. I dabble in photography with my favourite subjects being the nature visiting my birdfeeder, plants, creative photography or, whatever catches my eye at the moment.

I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up.

When you have a Merlin show up in your yard and hang out under the lilac bushes well, you just have to grab your camera and photograph it. #merlin #falcon #birdofprey #backyardbirding #plevna #ontario #canada #ishootcanon #wildlife #naturephotography

When you stop at the Garden Market in Smiths Falls on the way home for a couple of grocery items and they have plants out you just have to buy a couple because flowers make you feel good. #springflowers #columbine #primrose #iceplant

A Merlin decide that our walkway would be a good place to enjoy its meal of a rock pigeon. It was not bothered by my presence with my camera on the deck. We have never seen one here before so it was exciting to say the least. #backyardbiridng #merlin #birdofprey #ShareCanGeo #Plevna #ON

Tom and Jerry have brought friends over to "dine" at the bird feeders. Tom or Jerry don't like sharing so this one was not too happy as you can see having to wait to get a turn at the breakfast buffet. I just love their expressions. #wildturkey #turkey #backyardbirding #Ontario #canada #plevna

We all have that one good friend that we can count on to make sure we get home safe when we have had a few wobbly pops. Tom is making sure Jerry gets to the feeder safely before taking him home.
