Nature in your area!

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...

Wow, sarah, green leaves on X-mas eve. ( wish I were in FL )

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. )

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.

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 )

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!
