Approaching Touchdown
There is something elegant about the way geese land on water.

Finally
This year has seen an aberration in the normal process of the Seasons.
November and December warmer than past years.
Open water on our lake until January 6.
Mallard Ducks walking up the shore and visiting the ground under the bird feeder in early January to feast on the dropped sunflower seeds.
The lake has been ready to freeze for the past three weeks.
It made an attempt in mid-December but that ice cover disappeared with a couple of days of warm winds from the South.
A full moon, calm air and a -12C night was enough to make ice.
Yesterday morning the lake woke up with its winter blanket of ice.

Happy New Year
This guy/girl visited on New Year’s Day to help clean up under the feeder after the wild party.

Visitor
On Christmas Night, a flying squirrel flew onto the bird feeder.
It munched away for a while, enjoying its Christmas Dinner.
Seemed appropriate, I think.

Snow Photographs
The first snows of the Winter are quite exciting, especially when the snow sticks and stays on everything for days.
Opportunity to show the delicacy of Nature abound.

Three Paths in Laurier Woods
In the Woods the trails wander
Among the trees and ponds, and so,
When trekking and the day is fair
The hard part is to know just where
To pause and sense the mood
That best expresses how one feels.
Around the bend one might fetch up
A memory,
A feeling.
Sad, happy, excited, nostalgic,
Put there in the mind
By past experience enjoyed,
Or missed, only to surface and make itself known.
Finally.
