This vintage, World War II-era C-47 Skytrain visited a local airport today.
I had booked a ride; alas a thunderstorm arrived at the scheduled taxi time so the flight was cancelled. I was disappointed, yet such is life.

Flower
It’s a flower though it may not look like one.
Bloom
It’s been a challenging spring for many of the living things in my part of the world. Much wetter than normal, cooler than normal. A lot of our plants have been slower to grow and to bloom than in past years. Climate change? Possibly. An anomalous spring, unusual but not unheard of? Possibly.
Whatever the reason, it only in late May that this iris in our back yard came into lovely bloom.
Huddle
Goslings huddle next to their protector.
Reminder
Forget-me-nots. One of my favourite flowers; and a timely reminder of my connection(s) to people important to me.
Morning, Lambton County
Peeling
As our garden transformed last fall from actively growing into dormant and dying, we left many stems and other material in place instead of tidying up all of the dead stuff.
A few days ago this Baltimore Oriole was a benefactor of our decision, peeling fibers off of this Butterfly Bush stem for its mates’ nest.
I believe we will continue gardening in this wildlife friendly way.
