A couple of days ago, another Canadian solider was killed in Afghanistan. Was traveling down the Don Valley Parkway with the fellow I carpool with, and managed to take a few pictures from the traveling car of those people paying tribute to the fallen officer.
Here’s the one that came out best:

Love the big, bugged-out eyes on Red Admiral Butterflies. Here’s a shot of one on a cluster of small, white flowers that I ran across:

It was another hot early-summer day, and I took the dog for a walk down by Woodbine Park. Caught this shot of a Common Grackle cooling down at the edge of the pond in the Park:

Went to nearby CTY to pick up a computer part, and brought my camera along in case I saw anything interesting in the reservoir. What I saw — besides lots of Canada Geese — was this fellow, a Double-crested Cormorant:

The patterns on the wings and beak somehow make it look more primitive-looking. Definitely wouldn’t want to be at the other end of that nasty-looking curved beak.

I first saw this deeply orange moon coming back from work, and when I got home I got out the camera and managed to get a clear picture from the backyard.

Saw a pair of Greater Scaup Ducks down by Woodbine Beach while walking the dog. Managed to get both of them in the single shot you see below:
