Who's a Good Dog!

ort though!Daphne is now 11 years old and still going strong! Even when confronted with a new housemate, Missy.

She outweighs Missy by 50 pounds and is very gentle.

She does like her comfort

She even has her own Teddy Bear to snuggle!

Spring is almost Here

On March 13, I heard the first gees going over Whitecourt. On the 14th I went to check on the river. About 50 geese were staking out territory.

A Hairy Woodpecker

I found this fellow while out walking Daphne. It looks like he is ready for a lady!

Red Poll

Birds of the Day!

 The first four pictures are of a Canada Jay digging up food in the snow. They are also known as Camp Robbers.

The next three are of a Blue Jay posing quite well while chowing down

And there are a few of the Red Squirrel that just can't stay away.

And of course, the Chickadee has to say "The End"

 

A Long Trip!

Neither Elaine or I have taken a vacation for a good many years.

This year we bought an RV and changed all that! 

On October 2, we departed from Whitecourt and visited one of our sons in Red Deer, Alberta.

2444 km in 53 hours driving time

22 cities and locations visited

Below are some of the shots I took

This was one of the better views to wake up to. No free samples though.

And, yes, we had snow.

Penticton at night

Three views of Wrights Beach Camp on Skaha Lake outside of Penticton., A very nice place

Coming out of one of the mountain passes. Note the tunnel

Elaine's plant survived a month on the road. It flowered all summer, a month or two in the house, the trip and its still going strong.

These next two are interesting, lots of veggies and fruit, all on the honour system The price was on the bin, and you put your money in a mail slot You don't see this amount of trust anymore

This was a very good pick up along the way. We used it a lot!

Would we do this type of trip again? Not likely because there was too much travel involved. We will likely research a place, go there and stick.  Driving a 28 foot class C through the cities for groceries, propane etc. is not much  fun. Either a towed vehicle (Toad)  or car rental is required for us to get around.

Everything worked. Great furnace, fridge, freezer, and water system.

I will Post a Second Edition

Distracted!

ive I started to organize scenery photos of our RV trip through B.C and got waylaid by some Whitetail Deer photos that I took November 4. Oh, well, tomorrow is another day!

She was very co-operative and not at all bothered by me

Definitely not bothered!

Safe in Town

This years fawn has put on a pile of weight over the summer.

There is always a chipmunk around in the fall

Slightly camouflaged!

Even more so!

I'm not watching you, I'm watching Daphne

Maybe getting too close?

Checking things out
