Odds and Sods

 Here are a couple of pictures of the Athabasca River in its frozen glory. It is very cold out today.

Even so, it is very pretty to look at.





Daphne was quite content to lie on the deck next to her best friend.








This fellow was quite the handsome guy. I have no idea who he belongs to, but I remember how wild the horses used to get when we rode up to them. Quite often we would have a mini-rodeo on the road until we could persuade the horses to go past.

 this little squirrel just sitting on a roll of barbed wire enjoying a snack.

Bits and Pieces

I have seen awkward ways of dining, but this Hairy Woodpecker beats all! Upside down with care! Sure, I could have rotated the pictures, but this is real life.

 This Whitetail deer was in a field on my most recent outing. He/she looks kind of lost

 There are a lot of fresh cougar tracks in the area that I normally walk the dogs, so I am exploring for a better location.

 When i first saw this, I thought "What in Heavens name is that"?

 It was just this guy munching away.
