I'm posting this a day early and I won't be posting next week at all because I'm going to be in Penticton looking at rooms and apartments.

The photo is of a grape leaf in mid-winter, shot at night with illumination provided by a motion sensing yard light.

No more deers my dears, at least not now. Today, another photograph of night: three spruce trees slowly shot, this December past, in Grand Forks city park.

It's been a long week, I've walked into town and back three or four times. I'm tired and sore, but I'm happy.

Hello deer

Two new deer pics for you.

First up: the shih-tzu mentioned last post, nose to nose with a Grand Forks white-tail deer drinking spring melt near the southern edge of the Vienna Woods.

Second: a pair of white-tale fawns roaming amongst the Ponderosa Pine of the Vienna Woods in late spring.

A Deer in the Woods...

Two photos this week. (Top) a white-tail fawn, now several months old, pauses in its afternoon wanderings to cautiously observe the photographer and his shih-tzu walking near the Grand Forks, B.C. airport.

(Bottom) a young stag, his early spring rack velvetine, catches the photographer meditating near a power right of way in rural Grand Forks.


I've been feeling somewhat more human the past couple of weeks. I know that a big part of it is due to the weather changing as we head into spring. February wasn't too terribly cold here in Grand Forks, mostly within about five degrees Celsius either side of freezing, but it was typically damp enough and/or breezy enough that it may as well have been 20-30 below as far as my body was concerned. Right now, the weather's down right survivable, at least until the sun sets.

I've also gotten two rolls of film developed: the last of last years and the first of this one's. They've both been scanned and I should have no problem showing two pics next week too.

I think we'll stick with the deer theme for a bit.
