Wings of Paradise



So I spent the morning at the Wings Of Paradise in Cambridge, Ontario.
Its a butterfly conservatory which also has a few bird species.
In all honesty, it pails in comparison to the butterfly conservatory down in Niagara and Bird Kingdom in Niagara Falls.
Still, it was worth the shorter drive if only to see the Indian Walking Stick and the Chilean Rose-Haired Tarantula.

Hopefully once I've checked out the pictures I'll be adding a few shots to the Insecta, Aves, and the Other Fauna galleries.

Tyrone Mills

Checked out the Purple Woods Maple Festival on Saturday.
Mmm, maple.
We had some pancakes.
And some fudge.
And brought home a litre of syup.
I didn't take many pictures though.
But after the festival, we dropped by Tyrone Mills.
Quite an interesting place.

Added images to the Other gallery.

They're Back

Looks like the birds are returning.







Gotta love spring.
Time to put the EF300F4L to the test.

Added a couple images to the Aves gallery.

New Lens, baby

Friday night I picked up a lensbaby 2.0 and on Saturday I had a chance to try it out.





I love the effect.



Added images to the Aves and the Landmarks & Landscapes galleries.

THIS close to a butterfly's eye.
Nice.



P.S. I've managed to update the Insecta, Aves, Other Fauna, Sculpture Portraits and the Other galleries.
