Sunny Day - Moon Lit Night

I went for a 20 minute walk this morning in a snowy blizzard, complete with a biting wind that had me wishing I was walking in the opposite direction. I was thought of snapping a picture but the thought never got past first base. It was too cold to take my mitts off and dig my phone out of my pocket and I was using my mitts to try to shield my face.

This afternoon I went for another short walk but this time under a blazing sun and hardly a breeze to speak of. It was a very different and welcome change from my morning excursion.

Tonight, I didn't go for a walk. Instead I did a lot of stepping up to the window to witness the waning gibbous moon slowly making it's way up the Eastern sky. What a beauty she was rising above the trees and playing peek-a-boo in and out of the clouds.


My friend Marcel has been spending time making a lot of new friends at his place down by the lake. Today he managed to take some shots of how a group of chickadees have come to trust him.


He's been feeding them out of his hand for the past 3 days. I think it's absolutely amazing. Don't you?



On another note, my tail bone - lower back area, has improved quiet a bit already with 2 visits to the chiropractor followed by a massage. However, my ankle with a stretched Achilles tendon, has not been giving me much reprieve. It feels like my tendon was shoved in a clothes dryer and shrunk like a wool sweater.

    1. Oh no! That's not good. Go get some help before it gets worse.

  2. That Marcel, what a show-off!
    But seriously ... I bow down to anyone with the patience to stand still and quiet for the 45 minutes it takes till chickadees trust you the first time. Everett can do it too. Me I get fidgety and lose interest. - Kate

    1. I don't have that kind of patience either but I admire those who do.

  3. Same thing here wind-wise, by the way; twice I've gone out beyond the bush and realized I should've worn the parka with the biggest hood, and had to use my mitt to shield my face. Two reminders: think I'll remember next time? -Kate

    1. Same thing again today. It would be mighty warm out there if not for the crazy ass wind.
