So, It's been a while....

Alright I know it's been a while since I last posted here, but lets just pretend it hasn't been, Ok?



I recently went to the lake with some of my friends, and being me brought along my camera, and being me took quite a few pictures of Birds... I may have some sort of Avian Obsession.

 Please excuse my the fact that I didn't manage to align my shot with the horizon,

I didn't really have much time to take this shot before these Canadian Geese landed

and wanted to get the shot.

And yes, they are sticking their tongues out at you!

Some more Canadian Geese, framed very well against the backdrop of,

the Downtown Toronto Skyline.

A young male Mallard coming in for a landing.

The water was Crystal Clear that day. it was probably because it was still cold

enough to prevent algae growth, but I am sure that, that will not last very long.

A very stark reminder that despite the warm(ish) weather we are having, we are

still very much within the clutches of Old Man Winters' Cold Hands.

Brrr. Enough said....

So I am starting a new trend, I got tired of all the "Duckfaces" on Facebook,

and the Internet as a whole, so now I want to try "Swan Face"

"Come at me Bro!"

"I want a hug!"

I am pretty sure that he was doing some sort of territorial display, especially 

since he and his "Friend" had been proving that Spring was in the air, just a

few moments before I took this set of pictures...

New Hairstyle, the "Gull Wing Hawk" sort of like the faux hawk, but with 

more "Like I even Care" attitude mixed in.

Moar Bird Face!

A long time ago, in a city far far away, I arrived in Ottawa! My Mom and I went to Ottawa way back at the beginning of August, to visit my Cousins. As it had been some time since My Mom was in town, And just as long since I had been there in summer, we, Naturally did some sightseeing.

Confederation Building, Basically just a Government Office Building, but nontheless, looks pretty nifty.
