One of the basic causes for all the trouble in the world today is that people talk too much and think too little. They act impulsively without thinking. I always try to think before I talk.

If there were in the world today any large number of people who desired their own happiness more than they desired the unhappiness of others, we could have paradise in a few years. Bertrand Russell See my full portfolio here Shop Art by Category and/or Series Guide to the Silver Lining shirts
You must love the crust of the earth on which you dwell more than the sweet crust of any bread or cake. You must be able to extract nutriment out of a sand-heap. You must have so good an appetite as this, else you will live in vain. Henry David Thoreau See my full portfolio here Shop Art by Category and/or Series Guide to the Silver Lining shirts

There were many ducks in the little “live” stream that was surrounded by thick ice and deep snow and I caught three close-ups. Both males were looking towards the less colorful female and she was the only one who tried to look through the ice at her own reflection! So I thought perhaps narcissism does not only exist among mankind…. :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada Although deemed narcissistic by my “standard”, I’m pretty sure the “self-centered” less colorful female would not mind the proceeds of the sales of her image be put to use to protect her natural environment – and of course the admiring males could not be happier with the thought, I’m certain of it. :)

Ted would be happy to know that today it was VERY mild and the wood pecker took the opportunity of the “summer-like” weather to get busy at work!

The winter trees looked as though they were on fire when the setting sun shone upon them.
The fawn looked as though she could not be more than a month old as her fur was all soft to touch and fluffy. She moved slowly and gently and looked into the lens, as if to say, “Hi, my name is Baby Fluffy”. :) I thought she was the cutest of all as she has long eye lashes and shinny tender eyes. And of course I’m pretty sure my “Baby Fluffy” would not mind if I donate the earning from her pretty face to save her environment. :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada
River and I drove for a couple of hours before dawn and got to a spot up on a little hill in the woods, kind of feeling “freezing to death”, so we thought we’d wake up the sun and this is when…. Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada
In a cold sunny day in the forest, River was teaching herself to “stalk” a “prey”, the fast moving squirrel. She hid herself behind some fallen branches in the freezing deep snow, patiently waited, waited, and waited some more, hoping the squirrel would fall in front of her, just because she was concentrating so hard.
My patient who lives in the woods set up a feeding pan for the deer who live around him and this little fawn looks really well fed thanks to my patient. She was not in so much of a hurry to get food anymore so she had time to pose for a nice portrait in front of her “food source”. :) My patient liked this young fawn very much as he thought she looked as though she was a “stuffed animal”. :) :) :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada.
My new wolf friend seemed to like having his pictures taken – he stared “up close and personal” right into the lens. I believe it is only fitting to donate the proceeds of the sale of this image to a park that more than 200 wolves call home! :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Algonquin Park
My new wolf friend was determined to teach me how to howl after our shared lunch. He very “tenderly” took half of my sandwich from my offering hand with his mouth, lay it down on the ground and ate it layer by layer, slowly and savoringly, unlike my dog River, who would ALWAYS “wolf down” whatever is offered to her! :) So now he set out, just a few feet away, raised one front leg a tiny bit for emphasis and howled. I got down on all fours, copied the posture and did the same. Obviously he was a little dissatisfied with my learning so he repeated the whole thing another time. And this time he was happy with his pupil. What a patient teacher I had! :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada

They are the third largest in the United States, surpassed only by Cherokee and Navajo. They are equally divided between the United States and Canada. Because they formerly were located mainly around Sault Ste. Marie, at the outlet of Lake Superior, the French referred to them as Saulteurs; Ojibwa who subsequently moved to the Prairie provinces of Canada have retained the name Saulteaux. The major component group of the Anishinaabe, in the US they number over 100,000 living in an area stretching across the north from Michigan to Montana. Another 76,000, in 125 bands, live in Canada, stretching from western Quebec to eastern British Columbia. They are known for their Birch bark canoes, sacred birch bark scrolls, the use of cowrie shells, wild rice, copper points, and for the fact that they were the only Native Americans to come close to defeating the Dakota band of the Sioux. The Ojibwe Nation was the first to set the agenda for signing more detailed treaties with Canada’s leaders before many settlers were allowed too far west. The Midewiwin Society was well respected as the keeper of detailed and complex scrolls of events, history, songs, maps, memories, stories, geometry, and mathematics.” Information Source ~ Wikipedia Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date/Time 27 August 2007 21:17:06 / Tv 1/125 Av 5.6 Evaluative Metering ISO 400 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / 1st-curtain sync
