Boxing Day Rain

As with last year, it rained on the Christmas spirit.  The birds are used to all kinds of weather and the major thing that they focus on is getting fed.  These Chickadees are busy

The Blue Jays have figured out the anti-squirrel feature of the feeder

Longest Shadow

Yesterday winter officially arrived at about 1:00pm.  The longest shadow of the year at “high noon” was cast by the sundial on the lakefront.

Looking Forward

Now that winter has officially started – there is snow on the ground that has stayed for three days – it’s time to look forward to spring for a moment.  Just to keep in mind that although there is lots of winter joy to be had, there is spring colour waiting as well.

Four Mile Creek

Shortly before entering Four Mile Bay, the aptly named Four Mile Creek passes through a low bushy flat.

This moment was very short.  It’s gone now:

Favourite Spot

One of my favourite spots on the trail near the house is here:

Favourite Spot

It is a little opening under two large hemlock trees beside what was the site of a small log cabin.  Now only the bottom  half of the cabin remains, crushed last year by the top of one of the hemlocks snapping off and landing on it.

First Snow 2009

The snow fell the other night.  Not much, but it stuck to the trees and produced a bit of a wonderland.

I walked a trail in the bush near the house yesterday morning.
