Very nice! Is that plant outside all year round? In your cold, snowy winters? Sorry, I know this isn't the gardening thread. I just had to ask.Closeup of the flowers on one of my Hens and Chicks.
Yes, outside all year. And it's by the driveway, so gets some extra snow shoveled on top of it. But in the summertime it gets hours of south and west sunlight, so I think that's probably while it's thriving.Very nice! Is that plant outside all year round? In your cold, snowy winters?
Lovely!Some flower twins.
Nice shot!Sailboats on Lake Ontario, looking north towards Canada.
It must be. Imagine my surprise at seeing the identical picture on the front page of the local newspaper yesterday. I never saw anyone around when I took the shot, either.Nice shot!
There is a large wetland not far from us. We often see herons (Michele calls them 'big birds') perched in the trees nesting, away from predators. It doesn't help them much against the bald eagles, though.Who knew herons could perch in tree tops! It was a bit of a struggle for him because the branch wasn’t very strong, but he stayed there a good 15 minutes.

Yes they do perch high. I have many shots of them up high on the tress.Who knew herons could perch in tree tops! It was a bit of a struggle for him because the branch wasn’t very strong, but he stayed there a good 15 minutes.
It could be. I was in a lakeside park, on a bluff about 10 meters or so high, using a 300mm lens.This someone could have used a zoom lens and shot from somewhere further away from you.
