No Winter Whining–Nature in winter

 

 

Nature in winter might be

something you are missing

if you spend your time

inside of your cosy little

house, barely peeking

your nose out of your

tightly wound scarf. 

But it can be very rewarding

if you choose to leave the

comfort zone of the fire

and venture forth.

Although it’s much harder

to capture animals on camera

in the winter, they are out there.                                 A rare sighting of Cateous sit-ious in window

 

From the pesky squirrel that continues to steal the black oil sunflowers from underneath the beaks of the flickers, to the pheasants that hang out in our neighbours back yard, they are out there.

 

Even more rare daylight photo capture of deer in our front yard.

 

And then we have the deer that are so brave they venture down the street from bird feeder to bird feeder, not minding the barking dogs, or howling coyotes.

 

Abominable dog-eous snowmanus

 

We have the ravens returning, the crows defending their territory, the eagles soaring…life in the skies is so busy sometimes it needs it’s own air traffic controllers.

It’s worth it to leave your house and venture out with your camera, and see what wonderful treats nature in winter has in store for you.
