Back from Canada

I know, we're back and I never even told you I was going, right? Thing is, it was all very last minute and we only went for a week and somehow I never managed to find the time to say here 'Guess What? We are going to Canada for a week'.

 

But we did go and now we're back and in between we had a great time.

 

We went to Niagara

 

 

and we went to Point Pelee which is Canada's most southern point

 

 

and which is sort of eerie and wonderful at the same time.

 

We visited a very nice yarn shop which opened quite recently near my son and daughter-in-law's home (and I spent some money - no surprises there then)

 

We saw red cardinals

 

and red winged blackbirds

as well as lots of bald eagles (it's been a bit of a year for eagles so far, as we saw dozens of sea eagles and wedge tailed eagles in Australia, as well as the bald variety in Ontario) and quite a few blue jays. I didn't manage a pic of the bald eagles and although I did get one of a blue jay, honestly, you have to know it was there!

We shared a birthday

 

hung out with these guys



and generally just got to know this one

I know I'm partial, what with being related and having hauled myself over the Atlantic to meet him, but I really do honestly think he's quite cute.
