The bird can’t decide which seed to go first as there are so many and she knows it’s time to feast but given the freedom of choice, she seems to feel paralyzed and frozen, not unlike people. :)
The bird was admiring her new winter coat.
My dog River posing for a portrait in the snow. She has ALWAYS liked her picture being taken since she barely opened her eyes at two weeks of age. Her litter mates ran around when the camera aimed at them but she stood in attention every time a photo opportunity showed up! :) I’m sure she’d be glad that I donate the proceed of the sale of her photos to Nature Canada as she loves woods and her deer friends as much as I do! :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada.
The bird was claiming the seeds all to herself, chirping and chasing away all others (including my dog River). :)
River enjoys the snow so much that she pulls me on a harness on the cross-country ski trails in the provincial park. Of course she never misses a photo opportunity and loves to pose for the camera! :)
This is River’s way of saying “good morning” to Tchoko!
Many expressed concern or even restrained/politely withheld “ridicule” to my going out in this blowing snow. They were all right, the sky was mostly gloom and doom and one could not see much but for a split second, just a blink of the eye, the sun peeped through in all this mess – is it worth it? Well, you be the judge! :)
The doe was playing with two of her fawns and my dog/”fawn” River when they all heard a dog barking from outside the woods. All of a sudden she stopped, pricked up her eyes and listened intently in order to determine if real danger was approaching. I thought this would make a good card for the group Art for Conservation as the doe wold be “on guard” for nature! :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada
The doe was playing with two of her fawns and my dog/”fawn” River when they all heard a dog barking from outside the woods. All of a sudden she stopped, pricked up her eyes and listened intently in order to determine if real danger was approaching.
Back in the deep summer, when all were in blossom and the leaves were rich in color and taste, the doe had plenty of time to experience the “other things” in life than just search for food. One day she decided to figure out what creature it was that I carried around with me and pushed at the top of the “head” from time to time to make a sound. She came so close to the lens that I had to quickly change to a wide-angle one in order to take this photo. Right after that instant, she took another step further to “pat” my “pet” with her tongue! :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Algonquin Park
This fawn has become one of River’s best friends throughout the summer. When the fall arrived and the leaves were turning golden, she played with my dog-fawn every time we came to the woods. It was a sunny morning. River was lost to the fawn under the tall grass. The fawn stretched out her long neck, making herself look like a giraffe, in order to search for her friend. She also made an almost “puffing-hissing” sound that I seldom hear mule deer make, which River seemed to recognize as a “calling” so she came running to her feet in no time! The “sisters” united right after the picture was taken of my “fawn-giraffe”. :)
This is a photo taken just before dawn in the woods of Mont Laurier, just before one reaches Val D’or, where one drives in the nearby Canadian national park for hours with only nature and wildlife. It’s a winter morning at about 5:30am and the camera is pointed away from where the sun was to come up.
My mule deer family was having an intense discussion about something – I suspected that it was about River who mistook herself for a fawn! :) They knew that the fawns “initiated” her “identity confusion” – not sure River, or most of the fawns, wanted to “fix” it though, as they all seemed to enjoy a “dog-fawn” among them. :)
In the flurry, River and I drove out of the city and waited for the sunrise and it came! :) So, this is my last Sunrise of this year! And I hope you all like it. :) This is my way of saying: Happy New Year everyone!
The look between this mother and baby is precious and warms my heart every time I look at it
