I took this shot at Point Pelee National Park.
To see 20 frogs hiding inside one log was amazing!
I am sharing in hopes many other people enjoy the image as much as I.

This photo was taken in Ojibway park. When I think about Windsor I think about all of our wildlife running around that we have the privilege to see.

We visited Holiday Beach, where we witnessed a breathtaking sunset. The sky, the water, the tall grass & bird transformed into a stunning display of golden hues like a gem, creating a magical moment that felt almost surreal. Just a beautiful afternoon that we will never forget in this beautiful place.

I captured this photo at Seacliff park in Leamington. Point Pelee National Park and Seacliff park are two fantastic places to view the fall Monarch migration. The day this picture was taken, I counted 750 Monarchs in overnight roosts within the park. Quite a sight to behold!

My husband and I were out for a drive in Amherstburg and I immediately needed him to pull over so I could take a photo of these four birds all together. The photo features a mute swan, a great blue heron, a great egret, and a Canada goose.

Old Boblo Island dock - Amherstburg. I always thought it would’ve been cool to take a picture of the dock on a foggy morning. During a foggy week end I finally got the chance to stop there and was rewarded with an interesting scene.

Essex County - driving early in the morning, I stopped by a field to appreciate a beautiful sunrise. I noticed the spider web, illuminated by a shaft of golden light and had to snap a shot !

The name and photo has a lot of meaning behind it for someone who grew up in the east side of Windsor. Riverside neighbour to be exact. This spot is where Abar’s Tavern use to before it was demolished in 2016.

A few years ago, I was at Ojibway Park, roaming through the woods. I noticed the rays of sunlight filtering through the trees in a beautiful manner. When I got home, and took a closer look at my photos, I realized the light in this photo almost seems to form the shape of a spirit!

Early morning sunrise at Point Pelee- specifically the boardwalk.
Nothing like a morning before the world wakes up to see the sun rise above the horizon and to welcome in the new day.

Out for Saturday afternoon drive we came across a farmer's field along Mersea Road 6, Wheatley full of Canola plants.

What a delightful experience we had recently during a walk in the Black Oak Prairie Heritage Park, I went with a couple of friends to this amazing place. We spent the afternoon taking photos of vibrant flowers, towering trees, and various birds while enjoying each other's company.
As we reached the end of the path in the woods, we were greeted by an incredible view. There, a young man sat on the ground, seemingly meditating and fully immersed in the serene atmosphere. It provided us all with a moment of tranquility amidst our lively chatter.
As dusk approached, we made our way back, reflecting on our amazing time together in this great place.

This picture is of American White Pelicans gathering during fall migration at Holiday Beach Conservation Area in Amherstburg. On this particular day, it was estimated that over 500 pelicans were in the marsh. Holiday Beach is an incredible spot to bird watch-and during the fall migration there is a dedicated group of bird counters present on the hawk tower to record migrating species, answer questions, and let you look through their spotting scopes. Truly a gem of Essex County!

While canoeing through the marsh at Point Pelee's Boardwalk I captured this photo of a single white waterlily on the edge of the cattails.

Captured this photo early morning. A wild turkey walks gracefully across a peaceful road surrounded by green trees somewhere between Windsor and Essex. A simple, peaceful reminder of the wildlife that shares our spaces. Nature doesn’t ask for permission to exist, it simply reminds us to witness, to respect, to wonder.

This photo was taken at my front yard. I love capturing sunsets. This one was a breathtaking sunset where the sky is painted in vibrant hues of pink, purple, and orange. The pinks blend seamlessly into purples, creating a soft gradient that stretches across the horizon. The oranges add a warm glow, casting a golden light over everything below.

This photo was also taken at my front yard early in the morning. The rays of light smoothly making their way out behind the trees. It felt like the day is taking a fresh breathe.

I went for a walk with my husband and captured this beautiful picture of two people sit by a pond, watching geese swim as colourful leaves fall at Malden Park. In Windsor, nature doesn’t just surround us, it heals us, holds us, and brings us home.

While sitting in my yard early one morning, I noticed this bee buzzing around a hosta plant in my garden. This amazing tiny pollinator was quickly covered in brilliant yellow specks of pollen. It is so amazing to watch nature at work!
