Portrait of a Deer Hunter as a Young Dog

Our dog, Calla, and I saw another deer on the trail today and at least one of us was sure there was one more.

A Fox Walked Across Our Meadow

He left only his track and a faint smell. We see fox tracks almost daily during the winter when there is snow on the ground. On a good day, we can see fox, coyote, and our dog tracks all close together so we can compare sizes.

Today, November 30, 2007, I found 16 wild flowers still in bloom near Lake Ontario in the area of Hamilton during frequent snow flurries under very gray skies.

Valletta


Valletta, originally uploaded by Ontario Wanderer.

When the Knights of Malta were building the fortified city of Valetta in the late 1500's, they dug a deep ditch on the west side of the city to stop attacks from land. The other three sides were surrounded by water and tall rock cliffs with built up walls on top. In this photo, taken from the bottom of the "ditch" one can see "modern" bridges that span the ditch for traffic to get into the city. This photo was taken in March of 2007.
See below for more information on Valetta.
