 Petrie Island Park

Had myself a great visit to Petrie Island Park, in the east end of Ottawa on the Ottawa River, It was a beautiful autumn day and there was lots to see including this little Raccoon that was digging up moresales trailside. He was very composed and didn't mind all the attention he was getting.

Came across a Great Blue Heron who was fishing along the shoreand not minding my presences as I tried to photograph this beautiful bird, he actually caught a fish that would have been a great photo but opportunity was lost to my slow actions.

Lastly I came across a beautiful Spotted Lady Beetle sitting in the sun, managed to get two shots before it whisked away to the back of the leaf. There were other creatures I came across but these were the only photos I was able to capture. All in all it was a beautiful day with lots to see and experience.

For my birthday last year I went on an adventure to the Lac Saint-François National Wildlife Area , Quebec, Canada. Here I found frogs at the  Baie de les grenouilles ,  not just a few but a whole lot of the green buggers were jumping around and having a frogger of a time.  Northern Leopard Frog ( Lithobates pipiens ) Deep in the Duckweed It was summer time and one of my favourite times to go exploring but the mosquitoes were ou in full force. Damn those buggers and there weren't enough frogs or dragonflies to keep them at bay. But all in all it was a good visit the wildlife reserve. By the water gave a relief to the swarming bugs. In the water channel the much larger frogs could be found and sparse foliage of flowers including both Yellow and Blue Flag Irises. Nice to find some marsh flowers dotting t...
