Something to grackle about

I have been learning, maybe even leaning on the great labour-saving device, procrastination. Maybe tomorrow I'll write up part 3 about the Moon and Chris Colon but not tonight.

I had a very pleasant encounter of almost the 3rd kind when I paddled along the shore of Tudhope Park on Wednesday, Enjoy the vibrant "Mayan" colours.
















The sequence lasted just over 10 minutes along some 30 - 40m of shoreline. Most enjoyable.

Everything is "Ducky" with the wise old bird

Spring cleaning reached the kayak yesterday, thanks to Elisabeth and Jeromy. So I went out, too, and returned with memories from land and water.

At Leacock on May 15



And again yesterday





And then across at Tudhope - Canada geese last week




And yesterday





I found the lighting unreal - like I was seeing a painting.

There was also a Mallard family. The drake was herding the whole family, Mom, too. This was in contrast with the Leacock family which also had a drake well out of the "picture".




He finally got them all together




Anf peace returned to Mariposa.

Einfuhrung = Introduction

Durham Forest - Oak Ridges Moraine

Wir waren etwas bei "D" in Oak Ridges, quelle für Duffin Creek Ost (rechte Arm)

  Parkplatz:


Canadians are well educated, and understand the law and so have no problems obeying it. Social distancing, wearing a mask, dog on the leash, paying taxes, saying "Sorry, eh!" Wahrscheinlich auswanderer von der Eifel -Ardenne!





Old forest -200 years old - the road-trail-Weg was never built.

Mai Apfel!



And fiddle heads oder Geigerkopf - gebratten in Butter =  lecker -



Und was wir gesucht haben -

White Trillium.

Aber oben ist normal - es gibt doch andere:




Und dann






Und viel mehr, many more variations, Volker!
