Actually saw this little beauty in NSW, Australia on my trip during the summer of 2013. I thought it was a very pretty bird and it took me forever to take a photo!

I don't know the specie, and I would love if someone told me!

Found these cute little flowers as I was walking through the forest by my home. The three of them were just sort of sticking out of the grass. Specie, unknown.
I was about to pull them out of the ground, but there were only 3 there so I quickly stopped myself.

Here is a maple leaf I spotted when I was walking through a forest in Woodbridge. I thought it was pretty, because it's a Fall leaf, so I took a few photos of it.
A maple leaf is the Canadian symbol, so I expect it be known by everyone here.

These annoying little fuzzy balls bring back some memories... last winter I was in the forest and ran through a bush and got a bunch stuck in my hair. Ofcourse that resulted in my chopping off half my hair because they were impossible to take out! Luckily, this time I was more careful as I took photos of these small balls.

I do not know the specie of this, but I do believe it is some sort of plant.

There is a small pond by my house and I saw 2 ducks in there. The water does not look too clean, so it was surprising seeing ducks in there. I have attached a photo of the pond itself along with a few photos of the ducks. The ducks look like they are different species, but both definitely from the duck family.

I was at Binder Twine and saw these spiky objects coming out of the ground, so I assumed they were plants, but I don't know the exact specie. It is about half the size of my thumb, but some of them vary in size. The colour also looked slightly faded, as if it was dying; possibly because Fall is here.

To be completely honest, I have absolutely no clue what this is. It really just looks like dead plants to me, but I could be wrong. I saw it and it looked very interesting so I snapped great photograph with my DSLR. I was kind of just wandering through the forest in Woodbridge, ON and saw it sitting there. I did my research but was unable to find the specie.

I was getting ready to sit on a ledge at the forest, but saw this little leaf lying there and getting ready to flick it off I noticed it was a bug. It was clearly very small, as you can see I compared it to my finger nail. As I was putting my finger there to take a photo, it was moving back, so I don't believe it was any harm whatsoever. I don't know the name of this bug, but I took a guess regardless, so if anyone has an idea of what is can be, please help!

I was wandering at a forest by my house, that nobody usually visits. I found this odd looking object, kind of looking like an overgrown rasberry or a bunch of rasberries in one. I snapped a photo of the pink looking tree I found them in and I got some photos of it beside my hand, and as you can see, the size is similar. I was going to touch it, but it had slight points on it and I thought it might be poisonous so I just took a quick photo with my camera instead.
