You can’t fight it, so you might as well ask for support. 😉

Friday Freeze
We finally have some sun after, well, a really lot of snow. We’re not finished yet, either.
Wish me luck, because I might have to dig the equivalent of the English Channel Tunnel in my driveway.
Have a happy weekend and stay warm and safe. 🙂
More Comedy Wildlife Photos
I found more of these humorous wildlife photos together with commentary from the photographers and just had to share.
There are more of these entertaining photos at https://www.comedywildlifephoto.com/gallery/comedy-widlife-2020-competition-winners.php

Hide and Seek
“As this azure damselfly slowly woke up, he became aware of my presence. I was lined up to take a profile picture of his wings and body, but quite sensibly the damsel reacted to the human with the camera by putting the Marsh grass stem between me and it. I took the shot anyway. It was only later that I realised how characterful it was. And how much the damselfly looks like one of the muppets.”

Seriously, would you share some?
“Atlantic Puffins are amazing flyers and their fishing talents are – well – as you see, some do better than others! I just love the second puffin’s look – can I just have one please?”
Happy Wednesday. 🙂
Truck Ptarmigan
This poor little guy was wind-blown into the house a couple of evenings ago.
He seemed to bounce and then landed on the roof of my truck. He initially didn’t look very well but was moving about.
I kept an eye on him and about 20 minutes later, he flew away. I was quite concerned about him because ravens would consider him to be a tasty snack. They are huge, aggressive, and smart.
Happily, he was able to recover before the ravens realised he was there.
A win for the ptarmigans. Maybe, a covid-mitigating win for all of us is coming soon.
Happy week. 🙂
Where’s the Moon?
Can you spot the moon slice?
Have a good weekend. 🙂 🌙
A Breath of Summer
Many of us are covered in snow right now, so a pretty remembrance of summer seems in order. It will be coming back around.
Winter Skies
This post was first published in early December, 2017. I love these photos and thought it was time to show them again. Have a good weekend. 🙂
Here on the edge of Great Slave Lake, where I am north of 60 degrees N latitude, I feel like I am living inside a winter post card.
The light here is diffused by the sun’s angle.
We are only getting about six – seven hours of daylight now but the landscape that comes into view is spectacular.
The sun peeking through a layer of cirrus cloud.
At night, there is also a light show.
The Aurora Borealis.
At two in the afternoon, the sun is getting ready to go down.
Frosty trees, warm light.
The light and colours are here are almost monochromatic, and very restful.
What does your winter look like?
Meet Annie
Say hi to Annie, probably one of the most adorable bear cubs ever.
Annie decided she wanted to come to Canada, so she waited her turn at the border crossing at Stewart, British Columbia – Hyder, Alaska, and then lined up to be processed by Canada Border Services.
However, poor little Annie didn’t have her papers so she was apprehended for the winter by Northern Lights Wildlife Services.
And a good thing, too. At 10 kilos (21 lbs) Little Orphan Annie is much too small for her age. She was born this spring, somehow lost her mother, and has been trying to find enough to eat ever since. Normally, bear cubs stay with their mothers until they are about 18 months old.
At the wildlife centre, she is apparently doing well with the other rescued bear cubs, and is eating lots and gaining weight.
The full article on this sweet little bear is here.
Welcome to Canada, Annie. 🙂
