I invite you to enlarge the photo with a click to understand why I chose to name this rainbow water. It is of course the colours of autumn leaves reflected in this pond water. The richness of the hues made this setting very beautiful!

Yesterday I had gotten my days mixed up and posted Green Thursday. I had mentioned in the post some ABC Flashcards that I had made for my grandchildren. Today I thought I would post more of the cards.
For today, a page from an uncompleted project. Its fun to play with pictures and I had started creating a counting book for my grandchildren also to be used as a guide to help them id the familiar birds often seen. doubleclick on the tree to count and id the birds. Ducks in tree? yes, Wood Ducks nest in trees.(one Osprey, two White-breasted Nuthatches, three purple Finch , four Wood Ducks, six Northern Cardinals , five great blue heron, seven Evening Grosbeaks, eight Blue Jays, as I had said incomplete
Another way of introducing children to nature was a set of ABC flashcards I made for them.
There are many ways we can teach children about nature. enjoy the teaching and the appreciation that results. Happy Green Thursday.
The yellow in its name might partially qualify this bird for today's meme, but if not then the yellowish background will have to suffice. We often see a Sapsucker in our yard at this time of year. This bird pictured above is a female ;the slight red at its throat gives me cause to call it so.
This handsome bird stood majestically in the water and it[the water] captured its details like a mirror

Red- backed Salamander; I did not focus well on this wiggly little creature but the red on its back was obvious which led me to its id.
Where the Porcupine Stream enters the North Oromocto River. This beautiful view, is not that far away. I must return to this location in the fall when the area will be ablaze with rich autumn colours.
Just back from my morning walk where I encountered this beautiful deer by the river
ITS harvest time again for all the birds and wildlife that gather their food from Nature's bounty.

Today is a most wonderfull day creating beautiful cloud reflections in the river.A soothing beautiful morning walk such as this always makes a significant difference to my blood pressure when I take it upon my return home.
This little sandpiper/plover? wasn't the only one getting wet feet as the incoming tide washed over mine too as I was walking along scanning the shore line of this small Bay of Fundy Beach[Maclaren Beach] looking for beach glass. Finding these little birds there was a bonus! below a semi- palamated Plover
We didn't find any beach glass .
A delicious sugar cookie with a red jam center is my Ruby Tuesday contribution for today. And it being the nature of little children to like cookies this cookie makes me think of my little grandson who frequently told me when he was visiting this summer," I'm hungry for something circly!" This cookie is store bought and not of my making.
