I woke early yesterday, looked outside, sighed a sigh of relief…just a dusting of snow, I was expecting a whack of it overnight…I sighed too soon. It started with a vengeance as I was making my coffee. What did we do Mother Nature to incur your wrath? This is Canada, not the US…;) Ha!
I shouldn’t joke, everyone this Spring has had their disasters it seems, some worse than others but really, snowing this hard? Even the birds were in a panic. I have not seen so many around the house, ever. I lost count of the robins on the sumac bushes, picking at the last seed heads. A Yellow Shafted Northern Flicker caught my eye as well! So Beautiful!
The robin’s strategy was to leap all over the seed head in a comical way, then go down to the ground and gobble them up, before starting the process all over again!
It was nonstop action at the sumacs…I was more like this:
Of course I had to go down to the canoe…We had just gotten rid of all the snow and 95% of the ice…now to start over again! Let it melt!
No sitting on the dock today…
I want this back!
Ok, I’ll stop whining. I forget how lucky we are to live in this paradise. Roof over our head, food in our stomachs, cats purring by the fire:) I’ll go back to contemplative photography. Had to get this off today, there, I feel better! Raindrops on the lake surface Sunday morning and snowflakes on my walk yesterday. There is beauty everywhere.
I had a blog planned about watching the otter fishing off the ice, stay tuned, tomorrow. Saludos amigos!
