Walking with Nature

 In Orillia!

 

Along Atherley:




 There were a couple of Monarchs fluttering around - difficult for me to photograph with my off-axis FUJI camera, live screen, and bright sunshine. Had to take off the sunglasses.

Milkweed had been spared but there were not a lot of plants.

Just a few meters back, in the swamp, were the Midland Eastern Painted turtles:

 






 Consider that this area had been baked dry this time last year, and remained so until November, I was so happy to see that 2 or 3 different ages had survived so long. I am about 10 to 15m away from them.

 

I was only 2m away from this animal yesterday afternoon:

 


The mink kept approaching us!

 


 The shadow in the lower right is mine.

 

I talk to the trees but they don't listen to me.
