Just arrived back from Paris. I will post photos of that visit and the cruise through Normandy soon. My friendly bumble bees and lilac bushes were waiting to welcome me home. 💕 #nature #photography #bees #floral
Put out orange halves and they will follow! #birding #nature #naturephotography #photography #manitoulin
An oriole visits the hummingbird feeders we have ready and waiting. The orange halves await visitors other than the pesky red squirrels. #BirdsofBlueSky #orioles #birding #nature
A sweet oriole visit today midst falling snow, cloud... then sunshine. When the orange half is empty, then we will fill it with grape jelly ..another oriole delight. #baltimoreoriole #birding #BirdsofBlueSky #nature #birds #manitoulinmagic
Not today for me. It started snowing 5 minutes ago. #gardening #MayDay #Spring #manitoulinmagic
And some days ... I kiss alligators ... at a grandson's birthday party when we invited a local reptile group to educate the kids. #nature #alligator
Treasure Island is an island in Lake Mindemoya, on Manitoulin Island, which is in Lake Huron. Aside from being Manitoulin's largest island it is notable for being the world's largest natural island in a lake on an island in a lake. #AlphabetChallenge #WeekPForPurple #photography #manitoulinmagic
Good morning, Blue Sky! I caught another spectacular Manitoulin Island sunset view from my back deck which interrupted dinner prep....as usual. I am so very thankful to live where I do. 🇨🇦 #BlueSkyArtShow #sunsetlovers #manitoulinmagic #scape #nature #gratitude #photography
The joy of sunset watching from my back door on Manitoulin Island cannot be matched! #scape #sunsetlovers #manitoulinmagic #gratitude #ForestFriday
Our golden doodle girls love the "big screen TV" patio door in the sun room! The red squirrel keeps an eye on them, as well. #DogsOfBlueSky #nature #manitoulin #dogs #EastCoastKin
Timeless rural beauty! Another dramatic Manitoulin Island sunset with old weathered barn silhouetted. #photography #EastCoastKin #manitoulinmagic #sunsetlovers #Manitoulin #AlphabetChallenge #WeekOforOld
A staredown with an osprey on Manitoulin Island as it was enjoying a fish lunch atop a telephone pole. #birdoftheday #BirdsOfBlueSky #nature #photography #fish
Watching carefully from behind trees as traffic passes, deer are gathering in town, avoiding the deep snow in the woods. Like us, they wish for signs of Spring. #nature #photography #Spring #manitoulinmagic #deer #EastCoastKin
At the moment of touchdown, I went out my back door and took a photo of the sky from our Manitoulin island view. Except for the snow, there is lots to celebrate. #artemis2 #jeremyhanson #canadianspaceagency #safelanding
More snow today. A sulk of birds watches our overcrowded bird feeders on Manitoulin Island. Will Spring ever come? #birds #nature #photography #EastCoastKin #Manitoulin
