Robin

On June 8, 2008, I saw this robin standing right on my front lawn. We are in the midst of putting new sod on our lawn so the area the robin was standing in was quite wet. He didn't seem to mind this one bit. Robins are a sign that spring is here.

Hawk

On June 8, 2008, I saw one of the parents of the baby hawk flying around just above where the baby hawk was. It didn't look like this hawk had any food for the baby and the baby was sure starting to get very vocal about that fact that he hadn't eaten anything yet.

Baby Hawk

On June 8, 2008, the baby hawk is seen sitting on a ledge on the side of this very steep mountain. I noticed that the baby hawk had a speckled coloured brown and white chest and he appeared rather big for a baby.

Baby Hawk

On June 8, 2008, I was very fortunate to see a baby hawk walking along the ledge on the side of a mountain. This baby hawk was very vocal, calling to his parents who were hoovering up above him. I'm sure this little guy was hungry and was waiting for his supper.

Wildflowers

On May 30, 2008, I went for a walk across the street from where I live. There are always lots of wildflowers growing within the mountains. I am amazed that anything grows in the rough mountainous terrain but it does.

Starling

On May 30, 2008, I went for a walk across the street from where I live. I saw this starling sitting right on the very top of the mountain. The mountain is probably 100 to 150 feet high, not a very tall mountain by any means, but tall enough. The starling has some grass in her beak for her nest.

Cactus

On May 30, 2008, I went for a walk across the street from where I live. On the ground I saw this group of small cactus. We have cactus in this part of Canada. They are small but don't let their size fool you. They have prickles and they can hurt.

Woodpecker

On May 15, 2008, the woodpecker was sitting in the hole that she had made in the tree This woodpecker had dug the hole so big that it had actually tore the branch right from this tree.

Pansies

On May 14, 2008, I took a picture of some pansies that are growing on our front lawn. Notice the single dandelion in the front of them. I think someone missed it when they were weeding the lawn.
