All taken within a mile from the house last evening. I’d appreciate if someone would tell what the duck is in the last picture.

Another of the Horned Grebe. What a cool little bird.

Captured in Lafayette and Eunice, Louisiana this past week.  FYI the sign hangs in T-Coons diner.  The owner, of the same name, said that only 1 in 500 people would understand the reference.  I would suspect that a much higher percentage of SDA’ers would know it.

I took a quick trip down to the farm yesterday and snapped a few shots with my new Canon Rebel T7. Some were taken at dusk, so the light was what it was.

Deer are numerous this year.

Moose Mountain Creek, the famed waterway that launched the career of Elizabeth May.

The “cement bridge” over the creek. Local folklore holds that a schoolboy once rode his bicycle over the arches.

Moose Mountains in the background.

The Jefferson homestead, one of the oldest in the region. The hand-hewn timbers held up for well over a century, but it’s finally giving way.

On a short drive within a three mile radius of the farm last evening we spotted at least 4 moose, dozens of whitetails, countless Canada geese (they were flying overhead in flocks numbering in the hundreds) and a Great Horned Owl.

It was nearly dark by then, so excuse the graininess.

Make snow pictures.

Our average high at this time of year is 7.3°C.

But in Saskatchewan, “average” is just a mathematical calculation that reduces the possible extremes to a single imaginary point.

From my walk to the post office this afernoon.

Yesterday in SF, this dude was running back & forth and the dog kept jumping up the tree to hang onto the rope. Still not sure what to make of it.

Willow Glen Xmas Lights

Taken by my travelling partner on the road south of Page, AZ a couple of weeks ago.

The skies over, and west of town yesterday. No good reason — just thought I’d share.

A few miles northwest of Regina, SK., early morning on January 1st. (click for full size.)

This is one of the most extravagantly decorated houses every year at Christmastime in San Francisco. I put together this video recently and thought you’d all enjoy it on this cold Thursday night.
