Thunderstorm Over Hamilton Just After The Art Crawl Finished. Good Timing. Hopefully All The Artists

#Supercrawl is still in full swing today on James St N. Be sure to check it out. Lots of fun and wonderful artists represented. @Supercrawl #hamont #discoverhamilton #artcrawl #artwork #arthamilton #jamesstreetnorth #jamesstreetnorthartcrawl (at Hamilton Supercrawl)

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)

July Friday Night James St N artcrawl underway. Nice weather and large crowds already. Should be another fun evening. #hamont #artcrawl #discoverhamilton #jamesstreetnorth #jamesstreetnorthartcrawl (at James St. North District)

Out for a hike in the pre-Spring-like weather and seeing some old friends. Nice to be feeding the black capped chickidees, the downy woodpeckers and nuthatches. Sadly the cardinals, sparrows and red-winged blackbirds were less sociable.

Interesting that there is a pecking order (pun intended) in who feeds first. Both the chickidees and the woodpeckers. In the case of the chickidees, size seems the determining factor. In the case of the woodpeckers, the females control the pace.

Also a nice gathering of Canadian Geese, Trumpeter Swans and Mallard Ducks. I think though they were protesting all the tourists.

Another waterfall stop during this past weekend. This time Sherman Falls. #hamont #discoverhamilton #discoveron #shermanfalls #waterfallcapitaloftheworld #photography #nature (at Sherman Falls)

More from #Supercrawl. Art, music, food and more. Great weather, great community and great event. Lots of fun for all. @Supercrawl #hamont #discoverhamilton #artcrawl #artwork #arthamilton #jamesstreetnorth #jamesstreetnorthartcrawl (at Hamilton Supercrawl)

Orion Nebula - the middle "star" in Orion's sword in the same constellation. A favourite target for all astro-photographers because of its colours and size. It is fairly easy to image without overly fancy equipment. It can even be seen with moderately good binoculars. #orionnebula #astronomy #amateurastronomy #cherrysprings (at Cherry Springs State Park)

When wandering around #Supercrawl, be sure to look down various alleys and backstreets for local street art. A lot if creative works. Some are still being painted this weekend. @Supercrawl #hamont #discoverhamilton #artcrawl #artwork #arthamilton #jamesstreetnorth #jamesstreetnorthartcrawl #streetart (at Hamilton Supercrawl)

Albion Falls illumination tonight. Went with some friends. Hiked in before dark and helped carry in some lights. So only brought smart phone camera. Thanks Minda and Jake for letting me tag along. #hamont #discoverhamilton #waterfallcapitaloftheworld #albionfalls #fallsillumination (at Albion Falls)

I was on the balcony trying to cool off early this afternoon when I noticed 2 planes flying in formation. I almost immediately recognized them as the AVRO Lancaster and the Boeing B-29 Superfortress which were part of the Charity Airshow. I was thinking it sure would be nice if they flew overhead. After a long arcing curve over Stoney Creek and Burlington, to my surprise, they came back my way to the Hamilton airport. I rushed to grab my DSLR (though my cellphone would have been faster but poorer quality) and took some shots. These are a few of the better ones. The props aren't turning because they were about to drop out of the sky.
