Wow, I haven’t posted anything for a few weeks, maybe longer, not intentionally I assure you. My husband and I were away from the 8th July to 7 September. We drove approximately 8500 kms (5000 kms of that total was pulling our trailer). We traveled extensively in Northern Ontario (the province we live in) staying at 17 different Provincial Parks and one KOA Campground (in Thunder Bay).
We did not see a lot of wildlife in Northern Ontario, surprisingly we never do. We did see lots and lots of Sandhill Cranes and Bald Eagles. We also saw a beaver, Pelicans, a bear, some Moose and assorted other ducks and birds. It could have been better but it also could have been worse. Being primarily a wildlife photographer, I take what I can get.
I took a lot of photos of this guy/gal, beautiful colours 
I thought this was cute, a honey bee and bumble bee gettin’ along 
This little chipmunk was adorable as he ate his berry 
There are so many Bald Eagles in Northern Ontario 
This guy was entertaining, took photos of him two different days near Hornepayne, Ontario 
We saw a ton of loons this year with quite a few having young ones 
I thought I’d try this in B&W. Under her left wing you can see a bit of the juvenile hanging out under his mother’s wing
On the 20th September we left for Algonquin Park and stayed 24 days, we drove close to 3000 kms during that time. We did a lot of driving in the park and surrounding area apparently.

So we have been home almost a month and now we are playing catch up with all of our pre-Winter chores. So much to do! I still have a ton of photos to go through but in the meantime, I hope you enjoyed the sneak peek at some of my photos while I get organized for some more Blog Posts.
Stay safe.

You were so right – it is necessary to take the time to live to share the best of what we lived, isn’t it ?- and your photos are always so incredible, almost magical so much they are “in” the life of animals

Ahh, my homeland and I went to Algonquin Park when I was young. I lived in the U.S. since ’66, but still a Canadian. You said you didn’t get much – your highlights are fabulous. I just love that little chipmunk and that bear appears to be grinning. The loons and their call always fascinate me. Looking forward to more photos when you catch up.

Thanks so much! The call of the Loons is nature at its finest! That chipmunk was very entertaining and so was the bear. I hope some day you can get to Algonquin again.

Yes, the loons’ call is so eerie and hauntingly beautiful. I hope to return there one day as well. It has been at least 60 decades since I last visited.
