Yesterday morning, the tree swallows returned - it was wonderful to see them arrive! As we sat with our morning coffee, on the first warm sunny morning of the year… the sky was suddenly filled with their amazing swallow flight! Their must have been at least 20 in the air and dipping over the lake for about an hour, then they gradually disappeared leaving this pair already moving in to their last year’s home. 05/17/20
Yesterday we did a little road trip to Hecla Provincial Park, which is an island on the west side of Lake Winnipeg, connected to the mainland by a causeway. The big lake is still wide open water but inland, the ice is beginning to settle in. In a few days this pretty little marsh will be frozen solid. It's always a treat to see the transition actually happening, almost before your eyes! 11/03/20 www.jmcqueenphoto.com
The water and the newly forming ice are battling it out in the many inlets and bays along the shores of Hecla Island. Of course the ice will win, and it won’t take long. Thank you for your views and your comments, I appreciate them all so very much. 11/07/20 www.jmcqueenphoto.com
