As I looked out the window this chipmunk shinnied up the shepherds’ crook to raid the bird feeder. I hurried to grab the camera and returned in time to capture it filling its cheek pouches with tasty sunflower kernels. We don’t mind sharing with it.
The Forget-me-not is one of my favourite flowers. Our yard has several clumps which reseed every year and have for years.
A mouse, or mice, tunnelled through the snow during the days before I took this photo. Snow was compacting and melting by this time, revealing their work.
Faye captured this awesome portrait of a dragonfly apparently resting.
During a walk in a bush, a fallen fungus-laden tree trunk caught my eye.
We took a stroll late this afternoon in Rondeau Provincial Park. A peaceful end to the day.
After reviewing CCTV footage for evidence of the unauthorized visitor, I identified it. This fox followed a path I had shovelled out then turned, bounding along my footpath to avoid walking in the deeper untouched snow. At this point it stopped to scan the area ahead before proceeding.
We came across this dragonfly during a recent walk. I had never seen such a brilliantly red dragonfly.
While walking an untravelled road one morning I looked down and saw that two deer walked this road a few hours earlier. Quite near this spot and not long ago I saw a doe and two fawns, so I suspect that all three were present.
Faye and I took a nature walk and were very surprised that this immature Turkey Vulture allowed us to get this close, within about 5 meters, before it flew away.
