Blog on Hiatus

I am sorry to say, that the blog will be on Hiatus for the next little while... at least until the little Bambino arrives and I can get back out and taking pictures!
I haven't been able to get out too much lately, so I apologize for the lack of posts before this!

Alaina

Lion like Kitty

This puss competes for my attention when I go out birding.. What a Beauty!! and very regal..

Favourite Shots of the Year - Pine Grosbeak

With the new beast (aka the camera of DOOM) in hand, and a lot of frustration (HOW Do I change my settings again??)  I set out to photograph birds..  Luckily they were in a cooperative mood..
I think these are some of my fav shots I have taken over the past year or so.. This Pine Grosbeak was being quite photogenic... I hope you agree!

Regally looking off to the side..

and Ignoring the camera in its face..

Kenosee Birds Aplenty

I love the variety of birds I see up in Kenosee.. Far different then the House Sparrows and Magpies we get on the farm...

Hairy Woodpecker

Blue Jay

Purple Finch - was surprised to see a few of these fellas around!

Common Redpoll

and of course, the Black Capped Chickadee!

Pine Grosbeak 2

I confess, as I rarely see the pine grosbeaks, I am in LOVE with photographing them!
This one was in the branches of a large tree, right near the trunk!

Funny Face

Caught this deer in the middle of chewing a peanut.. Looked like he was saying - Oh Hey there!

Cats on Steps

Kitty cats like to sit on the steps (they think they will get in the house.. maybe)..
These two did not seem overly pleased

Pick me up? please???

Snowy Pine Grosbeak

Caught this beauty in the middle of a snack.. was sitting in the shadows in the base of a tree

White Tailed Deer Portrait

As I was hiding under a tree watching birds, I suddenly felt eyes on me..
There were 3 of them.. apparently they were after the peanuts I had put out for the birdies..

Not acting interested at all..

Peanut??

Mouse Glamour Shots

Another round of Kitty poses.. She seems more resigned to it now!

Staring off to the distance..

and fully ignoring me now..

A Frosty Drive

Went for a drive to see the beautiful hoarfrost..
Stands of trees everywhere just Shimmered!

Even when the sun disappeared everything was very beautiful!

Wood Frosting

Lots and lots of beautiful frost!!
Found this lovely stand of trees just covered in it!

How thick it was on the trunk...

Weighing down weeds

and Spiky on fence posts!

Two trees... extra pretty!
