Out and About

I was wandering around the bush today looking for the elusive big game. I came up blank, but had a great day enjoying the outdoors. The only "wildlife" I saw was this weird looking mushroom

 I haven't looked it up in my mushroom book. I figured I would leave it be.

 The leaves are still hanging in, but are starting to go brown. We need a really good wind or snow.

 The bush roads are still gorgeous, and the logging road easy to walk on.

 It's still almost impossible to see any thing beyond the road due to the thickness of the grass.

 However, the colours were great. The re-planted area (about 5 years, my guess) is growing well and the trees are very healthy looking.

 This Black Capped Chickadee was very shy

 There are still lots of Robins around, but they are now forming large flocks and are very excited. It must be getting close to travel time.

Another Wednesday!

Anybody know what this dude is?

 It doesn't look like it's very attractive, let alone edible.

 Rotary Park is almost deserted in the mornings now. A great place for a dog to be a dog.

 A few retrieves of a stick and we are almost ready.

 A good shake and we are very ready..

 to harasse some ducks. This is much more fun than a stick.

 Gonna get the duck! Gonna get the duck! Total focus is involved. Fortunately, the ducks are better swimmers!
