I'm still new to this area, but there are sooo many hawks, falcons & eagles in Toronto's GTA & surounding area, its crazy!! If I go out in the car I'll see atleast 2.. I know they are out more in the summer time. 10yrs ago I counted 30 in 1 day & 6yrs ago I was past 60!!!
really? I live in the GTA but I don't really see that much lol. I probably see one every 2 weeks or so. I always see them flying but never up close :(Quote:

Toronto is known for its Falcons. They nest on the window ledges of the tall buildings & help keep the pidgen population down.
When I'm on the Mississauga bus I always see one hunting on the side of the road. Today we saw 2 & we only went 10km if that. We were on Dundas, Erin Mills & Burnhamthorpe (something like that). When we went to Ottawa for xmas we saw about 20 while on the 401. Most were perched in a tree watching the cars.
Off topic...
bluekat, we're having a small PT meeting at the toronto zoo this spring/summer.. I knew what your tag looked like but couldn't remember your name, so I'm glad you posted here :) PLEASE join us :) its a weekend at the zoo :)
Ooh yea we do have alot of pigeons. I don't think I've seen a falcon downtown before though :p
& yea on highways I always see alot.
Aw I'm sorry but I know I won't be able to..my parents would never let me meet anyone I met online. Sorry though, hope you guys have fun!
:o :( WOW! I REALLY DON'T WANT TO GO THERE NOW! We are going up to FL in April and he was talking about some Sunland place the other day! I AM NOT GOING!
Wow, sarah, green leaves on X-mas eve. ( wish I were in FL :rolleyes: )
I've got forest on every side of my house, so I guess I'll take some pics tommaro. ;) ( Don't expect much, they probably won't turn out very well. :o )
Beautiful pics. ( the Yukon ones were especially gorgeous ;) ) I didn't realise it got so green up there.
P.S. Sorry for pulling up an older thread. :o
Wow, what a cool thread! I just want to say how much I'm enjoying seeing everyone's pictures. I'll get some of mine posted soon...
I had to look into "My Pictures" file, after seeing this thread.
These pictures were taken in January of 2005!!!
We had several " fairy mornings" as I called them, and I took some pictures of the "Hoarfrost" that had developed upon every single object!!!
( Gee, I hope I did this right :rolleyes: )
I have ALWAYS wanted to go to Alaska! Everyone's pictures are stunning. My mom heard that mosquitos are a huge problem up there. Is this true?Quote:

The Grand Canyon is AWESOME! We went there on our honeymoon trip 10 years ago. I was so surprised that you can't see anything at ground level as you approach. The whole thing goes downwards from ground level! Duh, I guess that's what they mean by "canyon", huh? It's one of the places I have wanted to see since I was a little girl!
Keep these pictures coming!
The pictures I posted on page 2 were at my old house. We moved in May and here are some pictures from our new house/yard.

Everyone has posted such gorgeous pictures... I'd love to visit such beautiful places one day.

The lake. I wish I could find the original version I took of this picture, but for now, this will have to do. Also, once I get back home, I'll go through the files on the computer to find some more of the nature around here. =) I know I have loads of them.
This grass looks so soft! I want to sprawl out in it! :D
This photo is just breathtaking..
Alaska is through Canada though lolQuote:

Well, finally got the pics downloaded. Sorry there are so many, especially because they aren't very good. :p
This one has Jen in it, but I love it because it has snow in it. It's a good picture of Jen running, too.

Enjoy! :)
EDIT: In case anyone's wondering, the driveway is just under 11km long. :eek: Jennys daily walk is about halfway down the driveway and back.
I found one more, this cave was SO huge, I had to cut my family out, so you can't really tell just how huge it is. The picture cuts off most of the cave anyways... But I still find it is an interesting picture. P.S. it might be hard to tell, but it is sideways in this picture. ;)

here are a few of mine, bears- deer, hawks etc etc etc..
