there were so many birds at the cottage we stayed at…

after hearing them on the Merlin sound app, I decided not to worry about getting photos of them… my goal was to spot as many as I could while we were there…

I think I saw most of them, except the black and white warbler…

we also saw many pelicans, gulls, eagles, hummingbirds, and at least one heron;-)…

what a wonderful abundance of feathered friends…

noticed a number of birds over the last few days…

common or purple finches at the bird feeder, and ducks and geese at the Park…

the mallard was at the door to the Leo Mol Gallery… not sure if it was waiting to go in, or what…

but, the most exciting creature I’ve seen was the great blue heron by the bridge to the Park…

I was so excited to see this beauty… I must have stood watching it for ten minutes before it flew away…

herons are everywhere in Ontario and BC, and I’ve seen a few at Manitoba lakes, but not in the city…

a wonderful treat…

watery things today… so happy…

likely, by now, you all know about my obsession with bendy buses, lol…

on our way to Byward Market we saw many… so I had to get a picture…

then we picked up beavertails and drove to the Rideau Falls… I had some chocolate on my arm so had to clean it up which proved very humorous for my daughter…

shared the beavertails and walked to, around and over the two sets of Falls…

was very excited to spot a Great Blue Heron at the bottom of the second set… they are such majestic birds and remind me of a trip to the East Coast we took many years ago and saw them everywhere…

also took a few shots of this sculpture… for years my daughter collected worlds, lol, so it was fun to see this one with her…

I spent an hour or so sitting alone on a sandy beach at Petrie Island while she paddleboarded… the water was like glass and tunes were playing in the background for the beach volleyball game going on behind me as the sun went down on this beautiful day…

ended the evening at the Soul Stone Sushi Bar & Grill… the food was excellent… if you go there order the Fusion roll… OMG…
