A Very Big Crowd In Attendance At Becky Katz 10 Years In Wood Exhibit At The Casino Artspace Gallery.

Swan watching over its last egg. I went down to Bayfront Park/Pier 4 to check on the status of the 3 nesting swan pairs in that area. I knew one pair had already abandoned it's nest. I saw that a 2nd pair at the north end of Bayfront had left their nest with 1 egg remaining (out of 6 or 7 originally). This swan was the last hold out at pier 4 near the Leander boat club. It only had 1 egg remaining out of 5. That egg is also likely not going to hatch. All of the swan eggs should have hatched about 3 weeks ago. Too much rain and cold weather early probably caused the eggs to fail. Sad but it happens. Fortunately other pairs around the harbour have been more successful. #hamont #discoverhamilton #bayfrontpark #pier4 #swans #photography (at Pier 4 - Bayfront)

Devil's Punchbowl Falls. I figured after all the rain from the last few days, these falls would be fairly active (they were). I used my cell phone for these shots and video. Last image is lower Punchbowl Falls. I had to pick off ticks after leaving this area - even after prespraying myself with Off. #hamont #discoverhamilton #devilspunchbowl #waterfallcapitaloftheworld #hamiltonwaterfalls #lotsofticks (at Devil's Punch Bowl (Hamilton, Ontario))

Puppy sitting this morning with a really good boy. Almost caught his tail. My sock was a reasonable facsimile. #jakeandcarl #hamont #puppysitting #puppiesofinstagram @jake_and_carl (at Hamilton, Ontario)
