An Afternoon At The Cove

 

  The weather was perfect , sunny  with a bit of a chilly breeze but nice , good country fresh air !

                       We have no snow left !

The Blue Jays here are hogs , always filling their faces and pushing others away !

                 I love the Gold Finch !

              Just a few clouds rolling around !

               The air is cold way up there , vapour from a jet trails behind !

Click on photos to enlarge if you please ! There is a bird that should not be here with this flock of Tundra Swans   cause he is a Canadian  Goose !

We get hundreds of Tundra Swans flying over going to and from their migration spots!

            My silly dog Miggy sunning or doing the rolly polly !

                 She just loves the camera !

My  Lilac bushes are starting to bud !  These will be white flowers when they bloom !

And these are light purple flowers when they bloom !

                                From the field beside us !

That will soon be full of beautiful wild flowers, bees, butterfly's , birds and all kinds of interesting bugs to photograph !

           Spring is on its way , what's more I heard and saw the Robin that's a sign of spring for us here for sure !

           An old Oriole’s nest from last summer, maybe someone will move in this summer  !

Clear Deep Sky

 

 

I thought I would take a couple of photos of the moon and a planet as the sky was so clear .  It is known to Astronomers  as  a waxing crescent which means it is working its self to a full moon as each night passes !  To the eye it is just a sliver of light ! If you were to get a pair of binoculars or a telescope you could see the rest of the moon that is shadowed and be able to see thousands of more stars and planets !  The differents between a star and a planet is a star is a huge ball of hot glowing gasses  such as our sun ! A planet is a smaller solid body which does not shine on its own but rather light reflected from a star ! The planet you see here in the photo is called  Venus !

         I should of used a tripod  and set the camera for timed exposure but sometimes it takes to long to set it up for my liking, as soon as I see a photo opportunity  I have to take it almost there and then even if it isn't perfect . I sometimes find that photos that aren't perfect can also be the interesting ones !  

As amateur Astronomer's Papa and I often look up to deep dark sky's ! Its a whole new world out there !
