"Ever the Road".

Eastern phoebe flycatchers on their nest. They often make nests in man-made structures such as below bridges, in roof eaves and so on. The nests are quite well made with moss, animal fur, grass etc. This one was in the roof eaves of a rest hut in a woodland park.

A monkey of sorts. My old (13 year) camera finally bit the dust a few months ago so I bought a new one a few days ago and having been playing with the buttons to get a feel for it.

Juxtaposition. The male gaze? The sculpture is called the Illuminated crowd. "The Illuminated Crowd, a sculpture where 65 people of all ages, race, facial expressions and conditions are depicted on four platforms, illustrates the degradation of the human race and symbolizes the fragility of the human condition. Created by Franco-British artist, Raymond Mason, this unique public sculpture is made from stratified polyester resin with polyurethane paint and is located just outside the main gate of McGill University.

Two Mourning Cloak (or Camberwell Beauty, Nymphalis antiopa. le morio) butterflies. They hibernate through the winter and are the first large butterflies on the wing in Spring. These were feeding on sap escaping form a recently cut tree trunk, there were also several flies also feeding these juices. The one on the top has seen much better days I think.

An American Red Squirrel.

Handshake and longevity: a couple of things we could all use these days.
