Sea, sky and everything in between: February 2014
http://chipmunkheaven.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Sea, sky and everything in between. In all things of nature there is something of the marvellous. Aristotle. Sunday, February 2, 2014. Northern Saw-whet Owl story ends badly. I was called by the Foundation to help in transporting the owl as my spouse and I have volunteered to help out as drivers. There was quite a snowfall last night so it was agreed that we would bring the owl to the Toronto Wildlife Centre, which is closer, saving us a few hours on the road. I prepared a box for transport. I love every...

Sea, sky and everything in between: An ocean of plastic
http://chipmunkheaven.blogspot.com/2013/01/an-ocean-of-plastic.html
Sea, sky and everything in between. In all things of nature there is something of the marvellous. Aristotle. Wednesday, January 9, 2013. An ocean of plastic. It has been a long time since I posted. Last January I was diagnosed with breast cancer and so a new journey began. It was made easier with the love of friends and family and I am very grateful for all their caring. More strongly than ever, I. I was sent a link to a film that shows us how profoundly plastic. Http:/ www.midwayfilm.com/.

Sea, sky and everything in between. In all things of nature there is something of the marvellous. Aristotle. Wednesday, January 29, 2014. Two posts in one day…well, when the mood strikes…. Cattleya Sun Mei Gold. The orchids have been growing buds for several weeks and now the first blooms are opening, bringing summer colours to a winter palette. Cattleya Shinfong Little Sun. They love the east facing windows, soaking in the morning sun when it appears, blooming for weeks. An icy coating on everything.

Sea, sky and everything in between: Giant Swallowtails

Sea, sky and everything in between. In all things of nature there is something of the marvellous. Aristotle. Sunday, November 9, 2014. This is the largest butterfly species in Ontario and it is expanding it’s range northward. The host plants for the larva in the northern part of its range are Hop Trees, Meadow Rue and Gas Plant. In the south it loves citrus trees. After approx. 1 week the eggs turned dark, likely transluscent and showing the dark larva within. I watched them go through several instars, s...

Sea, sky and everything in between: July 2011

Sea, sky and everything in between. In all things of nature there is something of the marvellous. Aristotle. Sunday, July 31, 2011. Rabbits, Mantises, Stick Bugs. It’s been too long since my last post but I have a great excuse! Fireflies appear to have been replaced by other species just now, but in July it was wonderful to watch the twinkling lights in the warm velvety black nights. Since we don’t use chemicals on our property, we have a huge diversity of insects which in turn has sustained ma...One mor...

Sea, sky and everything in between. In all things of nature there is something of the marvellous. Aristotle. Thursday, November 24, 2011. This morning, the sun was shining on one side of the yard and there I found a Periwinkle flower. Blue Bell still blooming. White fluffy Milkweed seeds were caught in groundcover. Baltimore Oriole nest in Birch. I love birch trees, the tiny twigs and seeds creating stark shadows on the white bark. Even the weedy brown Mulleins stalks stand tall looking a bit like skinny...

Sea, sky and everything in between: September 2011
http://chipmunkheaven.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Sea, sky and everything in between. In all things of nature there is something of the marvellous. Aristotle. Thursday, September 8, 2011. There is definitely a smell of fall in the air, a spiciness, leaves are turning colours, the daylight hours are shorter and the nights are cooler. I always feel a little sad to see the end of summer, migrants leaving and songbird voices quiet. Sunsets are spectacular right now, something about the light gives more saturation to the red and pink hues. 65279;A...
