Delphinium
Delphinium, also known as larkspur, can come in annual, biennial, or perennial varieties. I love this tall colorful plant in the mixed perennial border.The main flowering stem is covered in many flowers. Each individual flower has five petals which grow together forming a hollow flower with a spur, thus the name "larkspur".It should be noted that delphinium is poisonous, and can cause severe illness or even death if consumed.

Icy Northumberland Straight
An ice filled straight, as seen from the beach at Big Island today. Hurry spring!!!
Bald Eagles And Ice
I love the shots of these immature bald eagles out on the icy water at Big Island today. Too bad they weren't a little closer for a better view.
Bald Eagle
Today we went to Big Island in search of bald eagles. We have seen them there fishing in the shallow waters of the inlet next to the causeway which connects to the island. The last time that we were there, we were fortunate to see a mature bald eagle sitting on a post 20 feet from the road, looking out over the water. Today we were able to find 2 juveniles out in the water, probably fishing for their dinner. They were a little far out for a good closeup, however we could still appreciate their majestic appearance.
Garden Bench
Garden Pond
Sitting on the bench in front of the water lily covered pond. Another fabulous feature of the Historic Gardens of Annapolis Royal.
