Paper Wasp
Meeting a paper wasp eye-to-eye! While often feared, these slender, red-and-black pollinators are surprisingly peaceful gardeners that keep caterpillar populations in check.

Rest Stop
It's migration season for the monarch butterflies but this foggy August morning forced this one to take a break because the mist had weighed its wings down heavily. Initially I found it on the grass, but worried it would be stepped on, I cupped it into my hand gently and moved it to the nearby milkweed, where it stayed to drink and dry off its wings.

As migration grows closer it is enjoyable to watch the birds as they play and get ready for their trek. We have an Oriole family in the yard and they just love the bird bath
A Stroll on the Wild Side
It's an early morning in August in Ottawa and the fog is still hovering after a night of blanketing the city in a thick mist. It's the perfect time for this egret to hunt because the fog provides better visibility. Sunny days are beautiful but there is too much glare to accurately hunt for food underneath the water. The egret walks lightly on the ridge of the water, a spot in the creek that is raised before it dips to continue the creek on a lower level. So instead of wading in the water below, the egret hovers from above to watch for fish and calculate its next move. Everything is peaceful here -- the air, the water and the energy. There's no rush at Nepean Creek, just time.
