We are not the only ones who are happy to have the sun shining warm on a 15°C below morning. Red fox in a park in #Toronto. #animals #fox #foxes #nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography

This is the red 'melt the ICE' knitted hat that is called a nisselue in Norwegian, this style of hat was a symbol of patriotism and protest against Nazi occupation during the Second World War.
Now Knitters from around the globe are making them to protest #ICE! https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/red-hat-melt-the-ice-resistance-9.7072047

This moose did not see its shadow in the wilds of #AlgonquinPark. So step lightly with more snow and winter to come. #wildlife #nature #naturephotography #Ontario #Canada

Did someone say it's my day? But darn it is cold out here, and where is my shadow? Time to head back to sleep for 6 more cold weeks of winter. Yes 🎄 It's Groundhog Day!!!!🌲 #Groundhog #GroundhogDay #groundhog #OxtongueWillie #Ontario #Canada

The Full Snow Moon is rising right now above us in #Ontario #Canada. Picture taken about 10 minutes ago. February’s Snow Moon is historically suppose to reflect heavy snowfall. They sure got that right given all the snow we have been getting. #Snowmoon #Moon #FullMoon #Nature #Moonrising #sky

Very cold today in #Ontario #Canada, but this Great Grey Owl we happened upon this morning sure brought warmth to our hearts ❤️. This is the first owl we have sighted in 2026. #BirdsSightedIn2026 #birds #birding #owl #birdphotography #winter #BirdOfTheDay #nature 🍁

A wise old owl lived in a tree
The more he saw the more he spoke out.
The more he spoke the more people heard.
Why can't we all be like the wise old owl?

Now is the time to speak out and help the winter #ICE melt forever.

This little opossum had no problem getting around in the snow. In 1608, Capt. John Smith coined the word "opossum" from the word "opassum," the Algonquian word meaning "white animal." #wildlife #possum #animals #nature #winter #snow #Ontario #Canada 🍁

Quite the drama in our backyard yesterday when a Cooper's hawk tried to catch a squirrel. The squirrel escaped and hid under our barbecue, but moments later another squirrel rose to the challenge and chased off the hawk. #birds #birding #birdphotography #nature #squirrel #animals #Ontario #Canada 🍁

Yesterday we sighted three common merganser ducks on Lake Ontario. #birds #birding #nature #wildlife #BirdsSeenIn2026 #ducks #Ontario #Canada 🍁

Frozen solid. A sailboat today frozen into Lake Ontario and looking a little under the weather near Toronto. Hopefully it might survive the coming pressures of the spring meltdown and not sink. #weather #winter #nature #naturephotography #sailing #Ontario #Canada 🍁

It was -15°C today when we came upon this brown-headed cowbird in #Toronto. At this time of the year, this bird should be enjoying the heat in Mexico. #BirdsSeenIn2026 #birds #birding #nature #winter #birdphotography #Canada 🍁

Still extremely cold these days, but the chill hasn't kept this porcupine from climbing up a tree in the frosty air. #nature #animals #wildlife #porcupine #wildlifephotography #winter #Ontario #Canada 🍁

@FrameToFrameNature Interesting the total color difference between male and female. Many times female birds are the same color but muted.

@FrameToFrameNature
This from her, as this breed is actually very intelligent and easy to train, as long as they are getting exercised.
The dog was probably more intelligent than (her) she could handle.
