Geese

There's something about a gaggle of grey geese honking and hissing that brings out a smile.

Ross Farm

Yesterday was the first time we visited Ross Farm during the winter. It's well worth the effort.

KFC anyone?

Frosty Day

It looks very cold out there today. I don't feel like role playing Scott of the Antarctic.

Ribbon

A touch of frost on our winter decorations.

Squirrel!

"Don't you know it's rude to stare at someone while they're eating"

Nuthatch

We have a pair of nuthatches at our feeder this winter.

Sea Smoke

A beautiful sunrise over Dublin Bay this morning. Cold!

Fern

A bracken fern in the snow,

Beach Erosion

Two years ago the provincial government spent

thousands of dollars to build a large fence to protect the beach. Last winter the storms removed all traces of the fence. This year the storms continue to eat away at the dunes.

Busted Trap

I found this broken lobster trap washed up on Risser's beach this morning.

Squirrel

We're the best of friends. I'm staying away from her nest and she's staying away from the basement. We meet at the bird feeder.

Cold Seat

There is an old hay rake on the edge of a field near our house.

Whelk

These whelks climb into the fishermen's lobster traps. Our neighbour boils the snails , removes the innards and fries them up in butter.

Let me out.

The snow is falling and the chickadees are at the feeder. I gotta go out... I'll behave.... I promise.

Being Pampered

Sometimes you just need to relax . How about treating yourself to a nice pedicure?

Vanishing Sand

This might look like a regular shoreline picture but this is normally a sandy beach. This is a picture of Little Risser's after a couple December storms washed the sand away. Hopefully, the sand will wash back in by springtime.
