Not for the squeamish. A fox that has just pounced on and killed a grey squirrel. Fortunately the hunt was executed with surgical precision, death was very rapid and I don’t think the squirrel knew what hit it.... Pas pour ceux qui sont délicats. Un renard qui a tué un écureuil gris . Heureusement, la chasse a été exécutée avec une précision chirurgicale, la mort a été très rapide et je ne pense pas que l’écureuil sache ce qui l’a frappé.

In the bleak mid winter. A view of a frozen lake, Mont St. Hilaire. It looks like a black and white photo but this is in colour.

Snow and trees

To warm your heat on a cold day. A blue heart in a snowy garden, St Bruno, Quebec (Jim Dine en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jim_Dine ).

Rosemary flowers up close.

A walk in the woods, Autumn

The sun cast the shadow of a colander on the kitchen wall. A lot of curves.

The view of the old Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) tower in Montreal (completed 1928) as seen from a plaza at 700 de la Gauchetière (built 1983).

We came across this little tree creeper hunting for bugs in a rotting tree stump. She was very active and the photo is not quite as sharp as I would have hoped but I enjoyed watching her so much that I am going to up load her anyway.

Autumn passing into winter. The last roses of the year, an hibiscus and some fruit.

A cormorant slowly swims through the reflections of the autumn leaves, Lac Seigneurial, St Bruno.

One of the squirrels that live in our garden. They have learned that if they come close to the kitchen window and stare in they will almost certainly receive a few nuts as a treat. It has become a ritual. Un écureuil qui habite dans notre jardin. Il sait qu'en posant près de la fenêtre de la cuisine, il recevra, plus que probablement, des noix comme un cadeau. C'est devenu un rituel.

Rosemary flowers, about 4-5 mm in size but very intricate and delicate.

Rosemary flowers up-close. Although they are very small, only a few mm long, they are very intricate. Photographing them was very pleasing because of the strong aroma the plant gives off every time I brushed against it.

The dark prince (or princess). A black swallowtail butterfly about to fly away.

The tiny flower of the spotted coral root orchid, a woodland flower that survives by taking nutrients from fungi. It has no chlorophyll and no leaves. St. Bruno, Quebec

Coral root orchid. Coral roots (Corallorhiza) are orchids that, with one exception, make no chlorophyll and live by taking (stealing) nutrients from fungi in the soil (myco-heterotrophy). Most of the plant is below ground, (the coral root) growing in intimate contact with its fungal provider. All that appears above ground is a single leafless shoot with an array of small, rather delicate flowers. Found on the forest floor, park St. Bruno, Quebec.
