Moon over Mississauga

 The moon has been looking great these past few days! 

Here are a few photos i took 

 Zoom in to see the craters!

My goal is to take a photo/video of Saturn!

Here are some moon photos from previous years
 

Listening to Gordon Lightfoot and Painting Storm Clouds over Lake Ontario, Canada

 

 

It's been a while since I did a painting.

Been working on other leather and metal craft projects

It's a gloomy rainy day,

And this is a view of Lake Ontario in Canada 

                        The name Ontario is derived from the Iroquoian word Kaniatarí:io or Oniatarí:io 

Meaning "lake of shining waters" or "beautiful lake"

Lake Ontario has existed for more than 11,000 years! 

And it surely is a beautiful Lake!

"If the sun don't shine this evening
And the rain is falling down
Don't grieve just 'cause it's cloudier
C'mon down to the corner
We're having a party there ..."

Watching the Hummingbird before the rain

                        There's only one bird that can fly backwards, and upside down!

       And every year, they visit us starting in the spring because we've planted a garden just for them, 

         and the monarch butterflies. 

                 The amazing thing is before migrating south for the winter, 

                              these tiny birds double their body weight. 

                       They then undertake a non-stop 20-hour flight across the Gulf of Mexico, 

                       traveling roughly 800 kilometres over open water without a single break.

       This is the male ruby-throated hummingb
