Laurier Woods is a local area readily accessible to town.
It is a little microcosm of Northern Ontario, with bush, rocks, ponds, beaver dams (complete with beaver), all connected by well-marked trails.
Getting lost in the Woods is difficult.
Getting lost in the moments one experiences there is easy.

Sweetman’s Garden has lots of birds to photograph on most days.
This day was unusual as only a solitary grackle was present when I visited.
But the light was so good that it all worked out just fine.

This bird was perched high on the branch very near the nest, calling plaintively over and over.
Hoping that a prospective mate might get curious, I suppose.

It’s been some time since I posted and it’s past time to remedy that. I have focussed more on making photographs and posting them the easy way on Facebook than taking the time to put them into the library on WordPress and then organize them into a post.
But here goes.
Lately, chasing photos of birds has become my go-to mode. I used to photograph lots of flowers as Spring progressed. I have discovered what everyone knows: Flowers are easy. Birds are difficult.
This, of course, has to do with the fact that flowers stay in one place. Oh, they may wave back and forth with the breezes but they can always be found in the same relative location after the wind has settled down.
Birds on the other hand…

Spring is about to arrive in Laurier Woods.
Last year’s growth still survives but the annual process of replacing it is just ready to begin.
