The odd thing about taking photos in the winter and the snow is that the sensation of cold doesn't really come out in the photos and because it is sunny it just looks like it could be warm, it really isn't though.<br /><br />That blue sky in photo seven is just stunning. I really like the last one the most I think. Also the close up one of the frost is interesting. Nice one Silverfish, they are looking really good. It's nice to see a bit of blue sky.johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574763566985129420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476597858281718351.post-25310513929977014612010-03-03T18:02:27.268-06:002010-03-03T18:02:27.268-06:00Oh my goodness Pen, yes there have been encounters...Oh my goodness Pen, yes there have been encounters, far to many to count. Some were funny and some not so much. I imagine I could wright a book about some of the adventures that the dogs and myself had had with some of the creatures that we share this little part of planet earth with.<br /><br />By far the most frequent encounters have been with skunks,<br /> porcupines (not funny ever), squirrels, chipmunks and ducks. Did I mention skunks? lots of skunks. <br /><br />Then of course there are always the Coyotes and the wolves. Both have learned to give the Nest a very wide berth but they do howl down in the valley and that just drive my hounds wild.the Silverfishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09019227476380575638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476597858281718351.post-42914633945611155562010-03-03T09:11:02.412-06:002010-03-03T09:11:02.412-06:00just curious, have your dogs ever come face to fac...just curious, have your dogs ever come face to face with any of the wild critters and how did that go.<br /><br />was talking to someone who mentioned there little dog, had run into two beavers, jack russel terrier, and these beavers were big.(Along a nearby river bank)<br />I guess the dog barked and carried on, but, the pet owner figures if it came right down to it. The beavers would have clobbered the dog.<br />I don't know, but that is his story anyway, which made me think of your dogs and all the wild ones in the bush there?<br />Ever been any incidents?Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16834513101685995010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476597858281718351.post-32387691837323926132010-03-02T12:19:18.115-06:002010-03-02T12:19:18.115-06:00The last 3 are my favourites.
Snow, snow and more...The last 3 are my favourites.<br /><br />Snow, snow and more snow.......<br /><br />"Had a fantastic walk in the bush by moonlight last night, it's a strange world up here at night. The coyotes were simply wild in their warnings, perhaps a Cougar or a bear was on the hunt."<br /><br />Or as bambi's mother would say-<br />man is in the forest<br /><br />maybe that is why the animals were in an uproar so to speak.Pennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16834513101685995010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476597858281718351.post-43986902838443493032010-03-01T05:27:00.816-06:002010-03-01T05:27:00.816-06:00You wouldn't dare!
