Spring Sun

Here are three photos I took today along our shoreline here at Bondi Village Resort.

The Canada geese are truly beautiful birds.  We'd get along with them just fine IF they would promise to stay off our docks...  But they won't, so while we admire them, we do take 'disruption' measures (including Taffy) to keep them away from our lawns and beach areas.   But this time of year, the lake is theirs...

It was a day soaked in sunlight. This is what sunlight looks like shining through cedar...

Meanwhile, along the beach, we found this lovely showing of dried leaves, set against the cloudless blue.  

Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but we are very lucky to be here at Bondi Village Resort where we can behold this...

Come join us this Spring (or summer?) and find beautiful places of your own.

The research done in Algonquin, at the Wildlife Research Station, has a long history of excellence.  We are happy to support them in their work!

42-years of Turtle research in Algonquin Provincial...

The Algonquin Wildlife Research Station (AWRS; www.algonquinwrs.com) has been home to a 42-year study on the ecology of the Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentina) and a 36-year study on the ecology of the Painted Turtle (Chrysemys picta). Over the course of this long-term study we have been able to ask questions about chelonian longevity, reproduction, diet, habitat use, movement and migration, road mortality, (the extensive list goes on!), and address pressing issues of conservation. This study has resulted in many dozen peer-reviewed publications, the thesis research of nearly 100 graduate students, and the training of hundreds of undergraduate students and volunteers. There are turtles that were first marked in the early 1970's that are still alive and nesting today!

If we are to continue our research we will need your support! Please consider sharing our campaign (and updates) to Save the AWRS with friends, family and wildlife lovers everywhere!
