Puppy sitting this morning with a really good boy. Almost caught his tail. My sock was a reasonable facsimile. #jakeandcarl #hamont #puppysitting #puppiesofinstagram @jake_and_carl (at Hamilton, Ontario)

Hiking at Pier 4 with my sister on Victoria Day. 3 swan pairs still on their nests waiting for the big day. Mama getting more nesting material. Sad there is so much garbage in the water. #hamont #discoverhamilton #swannest #waitingforhatching #highwater #pollution @capelmau (at Pier 4 - Bayfront)

My Easter Island Maoi statue is finally complete. My first carved clay figurine. Thanks to Keith and Cathy at HARRRP pottery for their help and suggestions. Turned moderately well. @harrrp #harrrp #arttherapy #pottery #claysculpture #maoi (at HARRRP)

Oh oh... Either someone lost their balloons, or some of the squirrels are having another party and I wasn't invited again. 😔😥🎈🎉 #hamont #lostballoons #squirrelparty (at Hamilton Mountain) https://www.instagram.com/p/CCROBevHpal/?igshid=5u06hs2h2rox

Canada goose Gosling at Bayfront Park. Mom and dad allowed me to get low and close, and also used my 200mm zoom to get this image. It's small despite the long shadow - nearing sunset. Hot 30+ C day but sunny. A nice simulation of summer. Even had an oldies cruise night next door at Pier 4. #hamont #discoverhamilton #bayfrontpark #canada150 #canadagoose (at Bayfront Park)

Swan watching over its last egg. I went down to Bayfront Park/Pier 4 to check on the status of the 3 nesting swan pairs in that area. I knew one pair had already abandoned it's nest. I saw that a 2nd pair at the north end of Bayfront had left their nest with 1 egg remaining (out of 6 or 7 originally). This swan was the last hold out at pier 4 near the Leander boat club. It only had 1 egg remaining out of 5. That egg is also likely not going to hatch. All of the swan eggs should have hatched about 3 weeks ago. Too much rain and cold weather early probably caused the eggs to fail. Sad but it happens. Fortunately other pairs around the harbour have been more successful. #hamont #discoverhamilton #bayfrontpark #pier4 #swans #photography (at Pier 4 - Bayfront)

Some more from the Its Your Festival on at Gage Park this weekend. Many vendors, food music and midway. Its a hot day but come on out to enjoy it. Splash pad and Fountain are operating to cool off. #hamont #itsyourfestival #gagepark #food #music #crafts #Midway #canadaday (at Hamilton Gage Park)

The CP Holiday Train arrived in Hamilton tonight near Gage Park. As usual, huge crowds showed up to listen to the music (Sam Roberts) and see the festive train. This is the first time that events and conditions (and memory) all worked together for me to actually see the train. Went with a good friend who had difficulty seeing over the crowd even though she's reasonably tall. Cold and windy. A hot coffee afterwards was a very welcome way to warm up. After, I tracked the train to the yards in west Hamilton where it stayed for the night before continuing on to Cambridge tomorrow. I found the Hamilton-Brantford Rail Trail was an ideal location to get close to the train for better shots. #cpholidaytrain #gagepark #hamiltonfoodshare #hamont #cpr #holidayseason #timhortons #klitefm (at Hamilton Gage Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqwM4bUhK3X/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1qo2zy5abkbvj
