At first light this morning

 

 

and, the other side of the house ~

 

 

I saw a baby fox in the forest today!

I really did!

No, no picture ~ even tho I had my camera around my neck; it was just too fast for me to react with anything more than surprise & pleasure.

Last night's glorious purple & gold sunset gave (sun)rise to another glorious purple & pink sky by 5:30 a.m.

 

 

No colour at all in the western sky ~

 

Our boat - X 2

 

Nothing like a little motor on top and our nameplate sign way down below ~

 

(oh, and did I mention - I finally saw a baby fox in the laneway!!)

Quiet, peaceful evening on the lake

The osprey heading west, feastless ~

 

"I see you!"

 

 

 

Reflections

 

Love the wavy reflection

 

 

 

 

Visitors from Altoona, Pa., out for an evening cruise

 

Look at the colour variations on his head ~ spectacular, for a non-breeding-mode drake!

Coming right at me ~

 

 

Quack Quack! It's about time you got here!

 

Heading off into the sunset

 

What a difference when they move out of the shadows ~

 

At first light ~
