Please Come On Time

Waiting for the bus... be optimistic

Winter Fire Hydrant

In winter, the most common factors that will affect a fire hydrant’s performance are cold weather and heavy snow.

Silhouette

Lucky me. I was in the right place at the right time to get a photo like this..

Wintertime

On a cold day looking a cross Lake Ontario to Rochester NY USA.

Dogs In Winter

Nice of them to let me take their picture.

Dumplings

One of my trips to Toronto's Chinatown.

Winter Swans

Snowfall warning beginning early this afternoon. Total snowfall accumulations 15 to 20 cm. Not to worry about the swans. They are hardy birds that can survive cold weather

Blue & White

The national flag of Scotland also known as Saint Andrew's Cross.

Night Snow

It was wet snow that started coming down about mid afternoon. 

When it stopped after sundown and the lights came on things started to look a lot different. PS: The photo was not taken in black & white.

Sunday Sky

A rare sunny January day..

Weather

Seeing sunshine this winter has been a rare sight.

Barn Charm

Roof is in need of urgent repair.

Monarch Butterfly

A flashback to the year 2012.

Gathering of the Clans

Winter is the time of year when ducks and geese and other waterfowl are prone to communal behavior. Open water which many waterfowl need to feed offers safety from land predators and attract birds by the hundreds.

Kitty

Like many other physical characteristics of the cat, his moods are reflected by his eyes. Pupil size changes are the clue, an angry cat will have narrowed pupils, while an excited or frightened cat will have eyes wide open, with large pupils. A mellow, happy cat's eyes will sometimes appear a shade darker than normal.

Geese On Ice

Geese survive the extreme cold by using methods such as standing on one leg, tucking their bill into their warm down feathers, and utilizing their feathers like a thick, down jacket. They are built to tolerate and survive in cold weather, which is why a lot of geese don’t fly south during the winter.

Blockbuster

Blast from the past. Are you old enough to remember?

Frozen

Newcastle, Ontario after a windy, icy storm, located at the entrance to the Marina.

Barn Charm

Weather worn but still standing.

Abandoned Gas Station

If only the station could have stayed open, with today's price of gas they could have been rich.

Universal-City -7

Continuing with my condominium photo project that I started on November 15, 2019. Both buildings are under construction with a third one just beginning. There's two more buildings waiting to begin sometime in the future. When completed there will be a  total of  five condos. 

Street Photography

The lady and her dogs.

Lake Ontario Ice

The winter weather this year has been up and down. The ice in this photo was gone the very next day.

Red Bellied Woodpecker

Not truly migratory, wintering throughout its range. Some wander north in fall and remain through winter.

Summer Dreaming

Looking forward to an other summer visit at Peggy's Cove Nova Scotia.

Barn Charm

The writing on the yellow sign. If you have more than 5 cases of empty beer cans, please show a staff member first. Thank you.

Winter

Winter snow, a sight to behold.

Harbour Entrance

In the wintertime it is common to see people (and their dogs) take a walk on the breakwall.

Little Falls

I took the photo of the falls in the Town of St. Marys Ontario from east bank of the Thames River at Water Street.

Friends

Donkeys can make great companions for horses. In fact, the two of them are capable of forming strong bonds with each other.

Chickadee

You'll often see them at tray, tube or hopper feeders, especially in winter. They like suet, peanuts, peanut butter, black oil sunflower and seeds. Chickadees will visit the feeder at high speed, grab some seed and depart in a flash. That makes them difficult to photograph. Chickadees are an example of a bird who stays around for the winter months. They have special adaptations so they can stay warm during the winter.
