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

Tough Getting Out

After having 2 1/2 weeks of frigid cold, like daytime highs of -30C, it has been difficult to get any photography done. The area has also seen the coldest February in 40 years according to the weatherman. I just love Global Warming! It makes me feel warm and fuzzy. No, that's ice crystals forming under my skin.


 Photography has consisted of watching the birds through the kitchen window . The Red polls are all fluffed up and are eating me out of sunflower seeds.



I get 5 or 6 Pine Grosbeaks at least twice a day at the feeder

 The Red Polls don't seem to mind the cold. How they don't freeze solid I cant quite figure out
I did find this Whitetail while out on a drive. She seems to be doing well and looking as if she might be slightly pregnant  Think warm, folks!

More Birdies

The Pine Grosbeaks are still enjoying the ornamental crab apple tree and the feeder.


 They are starting to get very tame, and don't fly as you walk by.


 It looks like the Bohemian Waxwings have rediscovered the food store.

 The female grosbeaks are very entertaining.

Portraits of Pine Grosbeaks

2016 started out good at the feeder! Male and Female pine Grosbeaks showed up and stayed for quite a while, munching on tree berries and sunflower seeds


 The colouring on the males was fantastic!

 The females weren't too shabby either!
