A wild flower from a wild flower walk at Ruthven Park National Historic Site near Cayuga, Ontario. Ontario Wanderer was the walk leader. (Note that one can see the flower nectar in the bottom of the spur of the flower.)

Breakfast Time !
One of my favourite activities is eating breakfast. I get to make about 90 % of the breakfasts because I am the first one up and hungry.
Onions & garlic, potatoes, tomatoes, fried with eggs in olive oil in the old cast iron frypan. Yumm, I am getting hungry again.

Nodding
This is one of 111 wild flowers that I found on a 3 1/2 hour walk yesterday. It was the first day that it felt a lot like fall with clouds and cooler temperatures. Now if it would only get cool enough to get rid of the mosquitoes that still are a plague I would be a lot happier.

Autumn's Glow
I love the almost neon glow of the Silky Dogwood berries at this time of year. This photo still does not quite capture the beauty of these berries. As soon as they are ripe, they will all disappear. So far, I can enjoy them every morning as I walk by the shrubs but soon they will be bird breakfasts.

Gertrude
Every morning when I walk into the barn this is the first face I see. (She has lots of Enchanters Nightshade seeds caught up in the hair around her face and is not keen on my taking them off.)
Gertrude has an amazing appitite and eats almost all of our leftover vegetables from our meals. Alice, our other Angora, is more picky about her diet. Trying to keep her youthful figure?
