There is a place along the river not far from us that we call the Ice Fields. There is a spring of water that comes out of the ground all year long, and in the winter creates some beautiful ice formations. The last shot was my view as I headed back down the river.
A awesome start to the last day of the year.
Thanks Diana, Happy New Year
Merry Christmas everyone, have a super 2026
Doves, Doves, Doves
This is only the 2nd day the Ottawa river has been frozen side to side and already there has been a kill on the #ice. It wasn't large enough to have been a deer and I didn't have time to send the drone out for a closer look. Here is the best shot I got of the two #Coyotes

TimeMachine on this date. #1 2017 A chickadee getting close. #2 2019 Sophie in the snow (yes snow) #3 2020 a beauty Sunset. #4 2021 A Blue Jay landing and showing off what we don't often see.
Even #Sammy Blue Jay is on the bandwagon and rooting for the #TorontoBlueJays to win tomorrow.
Took Maggie for a nice long walk today. She gets more obedient every day, such a smart doggie.
Indeed
Thanks Jenn
Sure was Pat. Thanks
Quite the scene over the river after the #sun went down. The water was very #calm, so I launched the #Drone, sent it out over the river and lowered it down low to catch the reflection of the sky in the calm water.#NaturePhotography
Half way though my walk with #Maggie today, I found a decent size stick and broke it off into a good size for her. One would think I gave her a leg of lamb. She carried it all the way home and then played with it until I had to put her back inside. She was so proud of it. #dogs
Sammy Blue Jay taking off from the feeder this morning showing those amazing colours and designs.
Yea indeed Leslie-Anne🏆
Little #Maggie the neighbourhood dog I get to visit a few times a week as her Mom works all day. Here she is this afternoon working on her retreaving skills.
#Sammy #BlueJay coming in to the feeder this morning. Notice the slight break in feathers of his right wing. It's a wonder this doesn't happen more often, when you see the way they fly right into what looks like impenetrable bush. #NaturePhotography
I changed my set-up so I could show the more colourful side of the #BlueJays. I will post more later in the day. Sammy taking off with a prize.#NaturePhotography
Three shots to put an end to the day. I was watching these two #sailboats racing each other and one just had a jib flying the other main and jib. Jib only led the way. Then I saw these #geese coming my way. How beautiful. Then the #sun setting behind the trees on the other side.
TimeMachine for today. #1 2016 early morning chair on dock.#2 2016 sunset over river. #3 2020 Blue Jays at feeder. #4 2022 Sophie and Stella among the colour.
Visiting wee #Maggie this afternoon. First she is just thinking about her new world, then she is exploring it. She is a keeper for sure.#NaturePhotography
Two treats from early this morning. The River from my deck and cobwebs in the field, same day as in past years.
Yesterday after the waterfalls, I just had a little light left to explore the eastern end of the park which gives you access to the river. The first is of a Killdeer, then two synchronized Egrets. I even did one sunset shot looking towards the Nepean Marina. I have to go back.
Thanks so much, glad you liked it.
Thanks Sue. 🙏
