White-Throated Sparrow

Yesterday a sparrow flew into my mom's window. Here Mark is petting it.

Good-Bye



They've gone home now. Until next time....

Smiley

Alyssa got used to us. By the next day she was all smiles.

What A View

My kids took Uncle Dave up the mountain today. He got some awesome shots.

Derek, get away from there right now! (It's enough to give a mother a heart attack.)

Rose-Breasted Grosbeak

This bird was eating at my mom's feeder this afternoon.

My Newest Niece

My brother and his family arrived yesterday from Toronto to visit for the weekend. Alyssa doesn't look too sure about her surroundings. I hope things get better.

The Geek Squad

My Uncle Dwight and Aunt Violet came for a visit yesterday. I hadn't seen him for 30 years, and this is the first time I met her. We had a GREAT visit (in my opinion). Before dinner we all got out our handheld gaming systems for a little high tech interaction.

Lupins

These purple, pink (and sometimes white) flowers grow wild along the side of the highway, in the ditch.

As you can see, they are quite profuse.

Go Climb A Mountain



This afternoon three of my sons climbed the mountain behind our house. They are in the centre of the picture. This picture is just to give you an idea of how far away they were. It actually only takes about 1/2 an hour to get up there.


In the above picture they are about 1/4 of the way down vertically and centered horizontally.


They took this picture of our house while up the mountain.

Full Moon



I've cropped that full moon picture to see more detail.

Full Moon



I know it's the middle of the night, but I wanted to get a picture of the full moon with my new 500mm lens.

Camp

Last May (2005) my trailer was delivered to my campsite at Lac Des Mille Lacs.

Now, a year later we are all settled in (sort of).
