How can anyone not like cats?

Black Squirrel, Red Nut
Found this little fella scavenging for food, on the University of Toronto campus, a few weeks ago.
Turkey Vulture
Fairly common in Southern Ontario, this Turkey Vulture was one of two or three circling over fields out in the country last weekend.
Bird on a Wire
On the border between York and Durham Regions.
The Claw
Who says squirrels are all cute and cuddly? Look at the razor-sharp claw on that bugger!
Ladybug on Flower
I wish I’d had my tripod with me this day…and my macro lens. At 250mm the slightest movement shifts the focal point and, as a result, it took me about two dozen shots to get this one.
Great Blue Heron on a Rock
This Great Blue Heron was my nemesis for most of the summer. On several occasions our paths crossed; it was either swooping by far too close to me or standing in reeds on the far side of the lake too far away for my zoom lens. Finally, a couple of weeks ago, I stalked this large bird at Richmond Green park, and at one point managed to get within 40 feet of it. In photography, patience and perseverance eventually pay off.
