Osprey Family
A few years ago an osprey nest appeared on the cross-arms of a power pole in North Bay. In order to prevent electrical outages and to protect the birds from electrocution and hydro workers who might have to work on the pole, a new one was installed and the lines moved.
The pole with it’s nest was left in place and since then it has been occupied at this time of year to raise a family.
I visited the other day and made these photographs.
Three chicks are in the nest and appear to be close to fledging.

Flowers You Don’t Notice
Monarch Butterflies know about these as they are part of the process that makes new food for the survival of that butterfly species.
Milkweed flowers close up are delicately pretty.
So are Monarch Butterflies. Haven’t seen one yet this Summer.
There is still hope, I guess.

Another sunny Summer afternoon in paradise!
Reminiscent of “West Wind”?

Delicate Jewelry in Nature
Dewdrops and Spider Webs create delicate jewelry.
One has to catch these early in the day.

Daisy Morning
Daisies are so common beside the roads around here that they fade into the background and get forgotten.
This morning it’s time to remember them.
