Eagles and Elves

 Look at ALL the eagles!  Counted 19 total.  Pretty fun.  I even had a couple perched in the trees by my deck, couldn't see them but they were chirping away. 

 OMG... truely..how does THIS happen?  What is that?  Is she part elf?  Just the front two toes have a string of hair 2 inches long!

Once upon a day

I was gone a fortnight and came home from work (actually I work from home..but...)  and saw that the front door was unlocked and slightly open. I wondered... what the hell...did someone break in... is someone here? 

Living in a cabin in the woods (in reality a house on Hwy 95... but go with it...)  you never know what kind of creature may stop by looking to find refuge and shelter.  I tentatively walk through the door, looking around.  I look for snowy footprints, but see none.  I walk around the corner and look in the kitchen... no ramsacking going on here.  Perhaps it was Old Mr. Winter blowing over the threshold just to take a peak around?  I decide to walk down the hall to check out the rest of the house.   ... I open the bedroom door to see what I can see.... 

OMG!  And there it is!  Little miss wolf, came in from the wild  - happened upon a nice warm cabin after a day of running in the snowy woods. 

"Oh my, what a warm little place, out of the wind"

"Oh my, what a soft little bed to rest my weary toes" 

"Oh my, what a fluffy little pillow to place my sleepy head"

"I must say, I'm thinking this place is just right!"

"Oh my......my domestication may be insight"

And here is a sight from across the pond.  Taken through a spotting scope...not too bad.  Where Dodge Creek comes into McArthur lake, it doesn't always freeze and the bald eagles love to take baths.  there were 5 of them, 3 adults, 2 juvies. Always fun to watch them.
