The Time I Spent With Marg.

Comment Published at 02:4102:4124 comments24 comments52 Visits52 VisitsReport

 

Upon my arrival, Marg was concerned at how her grouchy dog ( her words ) Avro would welcome me, and whether he would still remember me from last years visit. THE MAGIC MEET & ME MAKING FRIENDS WITH AVRO  So, she shut him outside, just in case !  I would have none of that, so went straight outside to see him !  I called his name, he gave me three answering barks, and it was as if I had only been away for a couple of weeks - Avro and I were once again the best of mates.

My Mate Avro

Marg kept playing the elusive butterfly when it came to taking photo's, this time she was trying to hide behind their tomato vine, got you Marg !

Marg trying to hide

On one of our nature outings, Marg took me to "Heber Conservation Park" where we walked among lush greenery and flowing streams, shaded by the grandest of trees standing proud through their years of endurance, their canopies displaying every colour of green imaginable and tinged with reds and golds. It was a quite breathtaking display..

Marg, the child that she is, needed to play in water....mind you the water was icy cold !  

Marg, cooling down in  a icy streamMe on the other hand enjoyed just taking in the tranquilty.  

Taking a peaceful breather

"Lynde Shores Conservation Park"  was another opportunity for Marg and I to take a walk with nature. This is where I had my first encounter with Chipmunks, I fell in love with these tiny adorable little animals. They came scampering up to my feet in the hope of a feed of peanuts. From that day on, I learnt to keep my pockets full of peanuts, Haa Haa !

Tiny Little Chipmunk

After walking for what seemed like forever, we stood before this amazing view, "Lake Ontario". Canadians call it a lake, I would call it a  ocean, crystal blue water as far as the eye can see. I seemed to have lost my photo, Marg will forward me one. If you click on the link Lake Ontario,  then click on the first photo, you will see what I mean.

"Enniskillen Nature Reserve"  This was a very special outing as Dan and Avro accompanied Marg and I. This was comforting as there had been bear sightings in the area. No photo could do this reserve justice, and I don't have a photo to help describe what  felt  to me like a journey back in time. It was utterly pristine, untouched by man, and comprising the widest selection of plant species I have ever seen in one place. From the moses on the  forest floor, moving upwards past ferns and running streams to the dense canopy which shaded the light  and created a surreal environment. It was  breathtakingly beautiful. This photo was taken from one of the openings in the forest.  

Marg, Dan & Avro at Enniskillen Reserve

  I wish everyone a  fabulous  week. Love Janice   ,

Re: The Time I Spent With Marg.

Looking at the first photo I can just hear Arvo sighing with contentment!

My first thoughts on thoughts on the second photo were, what a good place to keep the tomato's! Near water! And my second thoughts were, but won't the pot put dirty water back into the pool?

The third and fourth are like a child showing off for her Mummy!

Next -  CHIPMUNK!!!!!!

Sixth you look like your trying to catch just a little glimps of home.

Seventh is a magic moment that probably doesn't happen nearly enough!

And the last one, my dear, looks like a lady with a head full of many different thought who isn't really thinking about any of them!

Re: The Time I Spent With Marg.

 I am impressed and feel you studied the photo's greatly....hitting the nail on the head with everyone of them.

Except the dirty water from the tomato tub drains through the  wooden slats to the ground underneath and not into the pool....very observant of you Naomi Haa Haa!

Loved your description of the last photo 10 plus.

Love Janice

Re: The Time I Spent With Marg.

 Everytime I got my camera out Marg would try and  hide somewhere, except for when hugs were being given.

It is a shame that the camera does not capture what the eye see's Pauline, for no amount of photo's could show the beauty that laid before me.

Love

Re: The Time I Spent With Marg.

beautiful

i have witnessed first hand the way you are around animals. i'm sure you fell in love with the chipmunks and fed them!

your love of the wildlife , the kangaroos joeys wallabies and poor old cheeky. feeding them coaxing them talking to them . yes Janice you certainly felt at home in Canada.

I'm even sure that bears would approach you!

love annie

Re: The Time I Spent With Marg.

 I do love all wildlife and they seem to sense if you're friendly or not. They give me so much in return....pleasure...a feeling of peace....companionship and a feeling of closeness.

Not sure about having bears approach me though, think I would need a good shield between them and me till  they felt safe with me.

Love
