#FrameItFriday (week 24 season 5)

#FrameItFriday (week 24 season 5) Is this not a quintessential Canadian scene? To make it extra special, just so you know, the photographer and the paddlers were all wearing hoodies because it was chill-eeeeee. Anyhow, this was up in Kawartha Highlands Provincial Park on Wolf Lake last week. The weather wasn't particularly epic this past week which meant being indoors with plastic moving totes still sitting stacked in the corner of my bedroom....it's been well over a year tha

#FrameItFriday (week 23 season 5)

#FrameItFriday (week 23 season 5) Well, for two weeks a portion of our patio was off limits as a pair of Robins set up their nursery in one of our planters. Initially 5 blue eggs were laid in this surprisingly tiny but tidy nest. 4 yellow beaks eventually appeared and for pretty much 2 weeks straight their bright yellow beaks pointed skyward for non-stop all you can eat fly by feedings. The airways around our house are congested with takeoffs and landings from dawn til dusk.

#FrameItFriday (week 22 season 5)

#FrameItFriday (week 22 season 5) Flying the coop, getting out of dodge, down time, me time, quiet time, whatever you want to call it. Cover your ears, pull the blanket over your head and snuggle deeper into your bed, tune out the world, sit on a rock on the shores of a calm lake, lay on the moss and look up at the sky, night or day. Alone. Escape. Take deep breaths, in through your nose and out through your mouth. Stare at the wall, stare out the window, stare at the horizon

#FrameItFriday (week 21 season 5) We put the furnace back on this past week, just for a couple of hours, not a minute longer because if I see that propane truck pull in our driveway one.more.time.Imma.gonna.lose.it. Love Canada but holy my moley, the weather pattern is just stupid crazy like a bad ugly paisley fabric. Happy May 2-4 folks! What are you getting up to this weekend? Big, HUGE plans this weekend for us, we're going to a plant sale in town Saturday morning and hope

#FrameItFriday (week 20 season 5) OMG they're back and so are all the fancy designer bug duds! In the photo I am modelling a fine outfit one must don in order to get from the house to the car. It's actually worn when you're wearing long sleeves and trousers and high rubber boots. I swear someone hit a switch somewhere that woke the super annoying black flies or whatever the heck they're called. It's supposed to be a scorcher today so shorts are on, t-shirt and only if I have

#FrameItFriday (week 19 season 5) THANKS FOR FOLLOWING ME, I FINALLY HIT 10K followers on Facebook. I give up on Instagram, grumble, grumble......... here we go...... Woohoo Mountain Dew, I do believe we have finally arrived at Spring. We hunted it down and I don't want to jinx it but I do believe we've found it! I mean look at my car (see photo), all the gravel roads around here are freshly graded and dusty as all get out or they've had a thick layer of gravel dumped on them

#FrameItFriday (week 18 season 5) Welcome to another Friday blog by moi. As I sit here at my desk/kitchen table, to my left sits my recent acquisition and it's bits and bobs. Oh Heather, Heather, Heather, what did you go and get now??? Any guesses? I'll give you ONE hint, that's it. Here's the hint: I don't need a license to use it. Put your guesses below in the comments, first correct guess wins a prize! I can't believe my family and I have lived here outside of Tweed for a

#FrameItFriday (week 17 season 5)

#FrameItFriday (week 17 season 5) Another week flashes by and yet another winter in Canada. Maybe it will start acting like Spring around here now, finally because all the wildlife is building nests, tending to nests, doing feed runs, etc. etc. What do I do? Well, I send my Canon 1DX and my 100-400mm lens in for a "spa" day to Canon Canada. It's not the brightest idea now is it? Beginning of nesting season and the birding lens is in the shop. Honestly, I've noticed that my le

#FrameItFriday (week 16 season 5) This week's blog is being posted on the correct day, I checked and double-checked. It's Friday, and it's Good Friday and it's a holiday. Happy Easter! So last Sunday morning as I sat and supped my cup of java the tranquil countryside exploded with a cacophony of squawks and shrieks and tweets. It was coming from across the road in the corn field. I threw on my Crocs (yes Crocs, well not official Crocs, the dollar store ones) and grabbed my ca

#FrameItFriday (week 14 season 5) Check what just came in! 30" wide x 40" tall (the canvas, not me lol) Isn't she a beauty? I've always loved my work on canvas. This image was taken at the top of Ragged Falls just west of Algonquin Park off a short trail from highway 60. I do not recommend hiking in there when it's mucky or icy (makes sense). I have a fall shot of it as well but there's just something about this angle of the roaring falls that I am fond of. It can get quite b

#FrameItFriday (week 13 season 5) It's a "double click and zoom" kind of week and shot here today. As 3rd winter temps fluctuate, the winds sort of die down, we hope and pray for no more snow. That's it Winter don't let the door hit you in the arse when you leave, go already will ya? This ain't a joke, it's April Fools day and I'd forgotten. This morning Paul said "I think those crane things are back in the pond" He knows their correct name it's just that he got a tad fluster

#FrameItFriday (week 12 season 5) BAM! FINALLY! I am so, so thrilled to have FINALLY, after lots of $$$ in gas, lots of trudging along many a trail, thinking EVERY hole in EVERY tree had an owl peeping out of it (probably do) I spotted this guy deepish in the woods on a drizzly day. I am so, so grateful I was alone with this gorgeous creature. Why? Oh just because I was acting like such a goof, chatting softly to it, baby talking, you know, cooing over it. He must have though

#FrameItFriday (week 11 season 5) Nice to see this canvas arrive at the front door yesterday. I was so excited to get it and a photo of it I neglected to check in the mirror before this photo was taken. Oh well, it's not about me, it's about the ready to hang 16" x 20" image of my fav shot ever of the Grand River Eagle in the Sycamore tree. Before I unwrap it and crush the box it came in, who's interested in buying it? For an incredible $80.00 CDN (plus shipping and handling)

#FrameItFriday (week 10 season 5)

#FrameItFriday (week 10 season 5) It's a piece of cake to sidetrack me lately. Dangle something unique or exciting before my eyes and away I go grabbing for it. I can't believe I'm saying this but perhaps it's a good thing gasoline is on the rise, it prevents me from straying afar and focusing on what surrounds me within walking distance or a very, very short drive. I'm crosseyed with all of the trees I've stared at these past few weeks, looking for owls. Every time I return

#FrameItFriday (week 9 season 5) Hey, all morning I've been wracking my brains (what brain cells I have left) about what to discuss other than the huge elephant in the room (if you live on this planet you know of which I'm alluding to) SO Let's have a chuckle at my expense instead.....I ordered these "Bay City Rollers" pants online a few weeks back. They were on clearance but I like this plaid and my hairstyle of late makes me a dead ringer for any one of the boys in the band

#FrameItFriday (week 8 season 5)

#FrameItFriday (week 8 season 5) The TV in our house has been on all week long flipping back and forth between a wide range of news outlets. You all know why and I will not be discussing it in any great lengths because that is not what my page is about. My page is to come and visit to see what my daily photo is, read the captions, maybe some comments and hopefully brighten your day a bit and clear the noises in your head that the outside world bombards you with. It's wonderfu

#FrameItFriday (week 7 season 5) Happy heavenly 90th birthday Betty Boop! My mum was my biggest fan and supporter. I miss her dearly. Today she would have been 90 years old! If you are new to my page my wee mum and I used to go for breakfast every time I went to visit her and I'd post a candid shot of her every time we did and post it online here. At first she was like "no, don't" and after I told her how many people commented on her photo and what they were saying to her,

#FrameItFriday (week 6 season 5)

#FrameItFriday (week 6 season 5) Time flies and it's still winter. This week I find I've had enough of it. You get stuck and you struggle to be creative (at least that's the way I've been feeling like the past couple of weeks). I've dragged my camera around with me to every place I had to go to and took the back roads just in case I happen upon any of the "items" I have on my bucket list. I've been striking out left, right and centre. I trudged through the deep snow to the fo

#FrameItFriday (week 5 season 5) Hard to believe it's already February, anyone else feel that time is blasting by? If you didn't see the video, I went tobogganing last Sunday at a friend's place. I had been driving around with two red plastic sleds in my car for a while now, looking for that perfect hill. Between my chunkaliciousness and the slickness of the sled, my body hurled itself down that big hill like Clarke Griswold had sprayed it's belly with his patented non-stick

#FrameItFriday (week 4 season 5) Other than standing in the middle of a snowy backroad looking up at AND conversing with a Ruffed Grouse perched on the tippy top of a tall bare tree, there's not much to report this week. Oh, I did drive all the way to Kingston to get me eyes checked out post surgery, two thumbs up! So I can't blame my eyes for any blurry shots anymore. I forgot, I also drove in reverse back out this super long dead end road because there was no place to turn
