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.

Yes, I know this is the first post in a while.

Laurier Woods is a neat, easily accessible area in our town. Trails wind through maple and birch bush and beside wetland ponds kept full by beaver dams.
Forest Bathing combined with exercise and wildlife observation can be practiced by people of all ages.
A treat for the body and mind.
Recently I ambled along the trails and made photographs of whatever interested me.
These are a few of many that I made.
