Bridge that crosses over the Red River Near the Forks in Winnipeg , Manitoba , Canada
Stumbled across a Large white cross on the other side of the river from where I was shooting. Was early morning and was taking pictures of the frost in the trees. When this beautifull image caught my eye. Even in the early morning haze and cloud , the only place the sun is shinning is directly on the cross, you can see the light in the snow just to the right. I thought it was one of the most beautifull serene things I had ever seen. The cross is about 11 feet tall.

! ! Their range is in the arctic, alpine tundra and ice-covered seas of North America and Eruasia. Its diet is lemmings, mice, ground squirrels, birds and eggs, fish, insects, and carrion. The Arctic foxes status is secure, many thousands are trapped annually for their fur. This is a small fox, averaging no more than a house cat, approx. 3.5 kgs. The short brown summer coat molts into a luxurious white coat in the autumn, which keeps the animal warm down to -50C. High activity and great endurance are vital for the fox to find food in an impoverished landscape and on sea ice. The species makes the longest journeys of any land mammal, with records up to 2000 kms. When lemmings are scarce, large numbers of these foxes migrate into the boreal forest in search of food.

“Bald Eagle Talking…” was featured in the group ImageWriting (2/24) on 13 February 2009. and in the group Extreme Close-Ups on 17 February 2009 ! ! The Bald Eagle is mainly solitary outside of his breeding season, which lasts from November to April depending on the location. There is one brood per year and the female lays 2 eggs which range in color from white to blue. The incubation period is 35 days and the chicks are fully fledged after 10-11 weeks. Sadly usually only one chick normally survives. The Bald eagle reaches maturity in 5 years, and can live up to 40 years. The Bald Eagle was once a common sight throughout the USA and most of Canada, but now it is in grave danger. Pollutants and insecticides ingested by its prey have worked their way up the food chain and is threatening its survival. Its diet is mainly fish, also small mammals and carrion.

! The Meerkat….Suricata suricata Family – Mongooses (Viverridae) Range – Dry grassland (often hard or stony ground) in southern Africa. Diet – Insects, spiders and other small animals, eggs and bulbs. / Status – Secure. Notes – The meerkat is a favorite display animal because it demonstrates a high level of social and other interesting behaviors. Members of a group take turns standing guard in a characteristic standing pose on high ground, such as a termite nest or rock. Active during the day, the animal enjoys stretching out and basking in the sun near its burrow, / ever ready to dash below ground on the discovery of a predator approaching on the ground or in the air. A colony averages 15 individuals, which represents several families, and larger females dominate the males. / Offspring number 2 to 5 and are born in December after a 77-day gestation. / Members communicate with over a dozen kinds of calls, and with scent from anal glands. Meerkats so closely resemble ancestral carnivores that their teeth and bones are scarcely distinguishable from fossils 50 million / years old. The family is placed between the cats and weasels.

The Bald Eagle… Haliaeetus Leacocephalus In 1872, when the Bald Eagle, was chosen as the symbol of the United states, Benjamin Franklin initially protested. He considered this eagle “a bird of bad moral character”, and recommended that the young nation adopt the Wild Turkey instead. The Bald Eagle once bred throughout North America, but its numbers have declined severely due to pesticide poisoning. Today some of these pesticides have been banned, and they are making a modest comeback. Identification: 30-43 inches. Very large, brown, hawklike bird with a white head, tail and stout, hooked yellow beak. Immatures variable with a dark head and tail witha black bill. Voice; A series of squeaky, thin cackling or chittering notes. Habitant: Seacoasts, lakes, rivers, and marshes. Range: Breeds in the forested areas of Alaska and Canada south to Oregon, N.Idaho, Great Lakes area and N. New England: generally along the Atlantic and Gulf coasts and in Florida. Winters from S. Canada south, especially along the major river systems of the interior.

! Featured in The ! Inspired Art ! group on 27 November 2009 Three passions have governed my life: / The longings for love, the search for knowledge, / And unbearable pity for the suffering of humankind. Love brings ecstasy and relieves loneliness. / In the union of love I have seen / In a mystic miniature the prefiguring vision / Of the heavens that saints and poets have imagined. With equal passion I have sought knowledge. / I have wished to understand the hearts of people. / I have wished to know why the stars shine. Love and knowledge led upwards to the heavens, / But always pity brought me back to earth; / Cries of pain reverberated in my heart / Of children in famine, of victims tortured / And of old people left helpless. / / I long to alleviate the evil, but I cannot, / And I too suffer. This has been my life; I found it worth living. By Bertrand Russell..an English philosopher..

The island in the distance is called Bird Island…Looking due north, to the left where the water meets the sky, is approximately 416 km (258 mi) to the distant shore. Interesting Facts Lake Winnipeg is a very large (24,514 square kilometers (9,465 sq mi)) lake in central North America, in the province of Manitoba, Canada, about 55 kilometres (34 mi) north of the city of Winnipeg. It is the largest lake within the borders of southern Canada, and it is part of the most undeveloped and pristine large watershed of southern Canada. It is the sixth-largest freshwater lake in Canada, but it is relatively shallow (mean depth of 12 m (39 ft), excluding a narrow 36 m (118 ft) deep channel between the northern and southern basins. It is the eleventh-largest freshwater lake on Earth. The east side of the lake has pristine boreal forests and rivers that are being promoted as a potential United Nations World Heritage Park. The lake is elongated in shape and looking to the left here, is 416 km (258 mi) from north to south, with remote sandy beaches, large limestone cliffs, and many bat caves in some areas. Manitoba Hydro uses the lake as one of the largest reservoirs in the world. There are many islands in the lake and most are undeveloped and pristine Camera Details: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi, 55mm Lens, Aperture exp 13.0, Shutter speed 1/400, ISO 200
! Location: This immature Bald Eagle was taken at Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The Bald Eagle lives where there are rivers, lakes, marshes, seacoasts, forests, valleys and mountain regions. The male and female often mate for life. The male performs spectacular aerial courtship displays to attract female. The female lays two dull-white eggs in the spring and one or two chicks are hatched after 35 days. Both parents or just the female incubate the eggs, and the female usually feeds the young, which are covered with down. If two are hatched, usually only the chick that is more aggressive and takes most of the food survives. Often the other chick will die from starvation. At 11to 12 weeks, the adult birds lure the fledglings to fly out of the nest by holding food in their beaks in a nearby tree. These young eagles can fly but the parents continue to feed them for 4 to 6 more weeks while they learn to hunt. At 15 weeks of age, the young permanently leave the nest to find their own home range. They do not develop adult coloration until they are more than 2 years old. They build a huge, conspicuous mass of sticks or cornstalks in the top of a cliff or tree. These stick nests are lined with soft materials such as grass, leaves, and moss. The nest can reach 5 feet across, 2 feet high and weigh 4,000 pounds The Bald Eagle eats fish, waterfowl, small to medium mammals, turtles and carrion. This Eagle captures fish (1.5 meg avi) by extending their talons a few inches below the water’s surface. Live fish are vulnerable only when near the surface or in shallow water. Because it eats a lot of dead fish stranded on beaches and riverbanks, this has caused many Bald Eagles to absorb large amounts of pesticides. In time, it was shown that this decline coincided with the introduction of the pesticide DDT in 1947.

The watermill known as Grant’s Old Mill occupies the site of the Red River Settlement’s first mill built in 1829. It was established by Cuthbert Grant, leader of the Metis at the Battle of Seven Oaks. Grant’s Old Mill is open to the public and provides a glimpse of a real working water powered mill. Organic grain grown locally, freshly ground triticale, rye, whole wheat, buckwheat flour and pancake mix, as well as other souvenirs, are sold on site.
