Description: It's easy for a mute swan to promise secrecy!

Description: I thought the red squirrel was in a perfect yoga pose.

Description: One cool winter day I went to see the Trumpeter Swans by the docks in Washago. I was surprised by how many there were and how much noise they made!

Description: Looking at this beautiful Roseate Spoonbill all I could think of was so pretty in pink!

Description: This Green Iguana - Yes I see it's orange but officially it's green. :) - was sitting so elegantly in the tree it had to be posing for the Wetlands visitors.

Description: A number of these ducks were hanging around the neighborhood. I wondered why then I saw that they were being fed.

Description: I didn't see the alligator when it was pointed out to me. I just took a picture in the general area and hoped that I got it in my frame!

Description: The GBH was giving me the Eye as if to say this is not how I normally look. So stop taking pictures!

Description: I loved the silhouettes the birds made against the sky. Their poses gave rise to all kinds of thoughts about their connection with one another.

Description: I loved the motion of this section of a bouquet. It was branching out and saying look at me!

Description: Looking at a tight grouping of flowers I decided I wanted them to burst free from the bouquet.

Description: As a change of pace I decided to draw some flowers, nothing serious. Then I inked them in, then I went for my watercolours, and then I loved what I'd created!

Description: Another great find at the Brickworks in Toronto. Good thing I was looking down at that moment. Froggie was right in my path!

Description: The Brickworks pond is full of waterlily pads and fish.

Description: When you are at the Brickworks in Toronto you will often catch sight of this Great Blue Heron, nicknamed Larry.

Description: The title sounds like an opera! I don't think I even noticed the bee when I took a picture of this beautiful monarch.

Description: This Robin caught my attention because it seemed a bit disheveled, like a youngster might be. My thought was it had recently become an adult. I loved it's puffy chest.

Description: What I would like to imagine these two swans chatting about.

Description: The image for this rose was snapped while walking in Larchmont, N.Y. near a park by Long Island Sound. I am always on the lookout for flowers that appeal to my artistic sense. Most often when I do some research later I find the flowers have special meaning such as this one: Giving yellow roses can tell someone the joy they bring you and the friendship you share.

Description: Caught this little female Hummingbird taking a sip in the garden. Always feels better to see this rather than see them at the feeder.

Description: It was nice to see this bird settled in the rushes singing to his mate rather than dive bombing my head trying to scare me away.

Description: A Great Blue Heron captured in graceful flight. Being in nature is good for the soul.

Description: The Heron was staying in front of me on the road. When I came to close it flew up, circled, and landed somewhere behind me. It was there for the wetlands on either side of the road.

Description: I spotted this beautiful bird for the first time this season. I'm sure it was posing. It stayed still, then gave me a look, then posed again before it took off.

Description: A golden glow through my curtain alerted me to this amazing image. Sunrise in the city.

Description: It looked to me like the Red-Winged Blackbird was showing off it's elegant feathers. It looked like a judge spreading out her gown to sit.

Description: I believe that I've captured the moment of two friends chatting, enjoying the chill, fall day.

Description: A Black-Capped Chickadee feeling the breeze.

Description: Judy Geller - A fox family shared my space for a time last summer. It was magical!

Description: I found this rose partially hidden under a leaf just by the sidewalk where I was strolling. I went on line to find out what species of rose this was and came upon the remarkable story of the peace rose. "In 1935, the French rose breeder, Francis Meilland, the third generation in a family of rose growers near Lyon, selected 50 ‘promising’ seedlings from his seedbeds. One was tagged 3 – 35 – 40 and over the next four years Francis and his father, Papa Meilland, watched its development with interest. In spite of war clouds gathering, the unnamed rose was introduced to friends and professional rose growers who gave it an enthusiastic ‘thumbs up’. But three months later Hitler invaded France and, with the nursery under threat of destruction...
