So Sorry everyone. I haven't been a good blogger lately. I really don't have an excuse, I just haven't been keeping up with this. I really haven't been doing any scrapbooking either. I just can't seem to get myself motivated to do anything crafty. I have, however, been reading alot of books!!

I am getting excited though. We are going to go to Niagara Falls on Sunday, my dh and I, to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary. I may have mentioned this previously but now the time is actually here!! We would have left earlier than Sunday but dh is involved with the German Club and he has to be there for these 3 days of Folkfest. So that is why we are leaving on a Sunday.

We did manage a short visit with friends at Tobin Lake last weekend and I had my camera with me, with my trusty telephoto lens, so I did get a few good shots of a friendly little squirrel they had running around. These friends have been building a log cabin on their lot. Last year, they moved out the old trailer that they have been using for many years and they started on the cabin that they have dreamed about. Our friend retired last June from the department of highways and he had made the decision that his first year of retirement would be building this cabin and then maybe he would look for a parttime job after it was done. They just have some varnishing to do yet but basically it is all done. I will post a photo on here and not feel guilty because their kids have it posted on facebook so they probably won't mind that it is on my blog. The cabin.....The cute little squirrel......This is a woodpecker that visits the birdfeeder hanging in a nearby tree at the cabin. There are

2 of them and our friends know what the proper names of them are, one is quite abit bigger than the other one.

And finally my patience won out and I got a couple of shots at catching the ever elusive hummingbird!! I sat for quite awhile to capture this little guy. And he kept coming into the feeder from the tree side so when I snapped the photo he blended in with the tree. He finally decided to try the other side of the feeder and I got a couple of snaps in, but he was pretty quick with his snack!!
