On Sunday afternoon we took a break from staying at home for a short drive in the late winter / early spring sunshine. Here are a few snapshots taken with my "social distancing" lens.
In the late winter, when the temperature is mild and the sun is shining and the wind is minimal, it is very pleasant to sit outside on our deck once again. The birds and the squirrels are active and they can be further encouraged by sunflower seeds and peanuts. Tuesday morning was such a day. Here are a few photos from our morning coffee.
Photo Sets Depicting Open Mic at Long Shots Have Moved
2020 February 22
Most visitors to this page, https://mcelroy.ca/news/, are expecting content about outdoor themes related to the upper Ottawa Valley and Algonquin Park (and maybe some family history). Consequently photo sets depicting Open Mic at Long Shots Sports Cafe will no longer appear here but will be found at http://mcelroy.ca/news/Long_Shots/. (However, particular open-mic photo sets can still be accessed from the sidebar and will show up in searches. Note that the sidebar is not present on some mobile devices.)
Each winter we have one or more martens visiting our bird feeders. This winter we have three. Some winters, they are very bold; this year they are quite skittish. Today was the first day I managed to get any photos, although I hadn't tried very hard previously.
