Life On and Off an Acreage

In-sights into moving from an Acreage back to Town, plus a few things I find of interest.

Two things that horses are scared about:


1. Things that move
2. Things that don't move




Old enough to be eccentric, but not rich enough

Meet Lamb Chop

Coming back from vacation we saw this group just outside Jasper Park Boundary. He looks like a Lamb Chop



I guess this is the equivalent of a Tim Horton's coffee shop or a watercooler.



The Big Horn Sheep all seemed to be content licking salt off the roadway. Sorry, no rams.

It was time for a Getaway!

Big Horn Sheep

Elaine and I decided that I should head over to the North Shore of Shuswap Lake in British Columbia to visit my son while he was back in country. This was a distance of 1500 km (937 miles) round trip. I was not that keen on driving the Rocky Mountains this late in the year, but the trip turned out pretty good. There was some misery on B.C 5, but manageable. I managed to do some stalking on the way back and came up with some good sheep and Elk pictures, and a few of some moose. Consider this installment one of about 3 to come. It was funny that for the last eight years I have been content to stick around the acreage and enjoy the critters, but this trip proved very enjoyable. The full curl sheep looks a lot better in the wild than on a wall!
