Photos Of Nature Where You Live

Hee hee no visitors @ the moment KP. We had 250k board feet of timber blow down in a microburst (like a tornado but the winds blow in the same direction) the other day. That equals about 60 to 70 log truck loads of timber. It is really sad and freaky to see 40 acres of old growth forest suddenly gone. The trees average 150 yrs old and are about 100 to 150 yrs old. I will post a pic. Good thing Dean was a lumberjack for 25 yrs it will give him something to do this summer!

I just happened to look out of the window last week, as it had suddenly brightened up from a bad rain storm, when I saw this rainbow appear.

It did turn into a double one, but it was beginning to fade by then. you can just see the double rainbow in the third photo. You can also see from the last photo it was a full rainbow, just could not get the full image in because of the trees.

This morning I finally managed to get a photo of 2 of the 4 or more Goldfinches we have feeding in our garden. It has taken me weeks to get a shot like this. It has been cropped and enlarged so you can see the markings and colours..

My roses are blooming. The orange one is called 'for you with love' and was given to me by a friend for my 50th birthday last year and the other is a rambling rose.
