Critter of the Day: silly deer!

I thought I was all caught up with the January photos, but when I uploaded the card from DSLR, I found more! So there will be a few more January Critter of the Days. :-)

First up!

Deer bleps!

Bonus Critters of the Day: best friends

I just went over some photos from the DSLR and found more worth posting for the critters of the day. These go back to the second half of January, and I will be posting them over the next few days.

Since today is Valentine’s Day, I thought I’d post these photos taken by my daughter.

These two just loved to be together – no matter how awkward that might be!

We really didn’t want to bring The Outsider in without Doom Guy.

Alas, if she were to survive the winter without harm, we had no choice. Once we can afford to get Doom Guy fixed, I think we’re all in favour of making him an inside cat, too! At that point, we would have 4 indoor cats, which will be quite enough, thankyouverymuch. DahBoy and his Mama are still adjusting to having The Outsider as their new companion!

Oh, deer! What a show!

We got visited by a whole bunch of deer this morning!

This is some of them…

You can see one deer butt in the trees, under the bird feeder platform; another deer is missing from this photo.

We had 7 in total. I was able to get some video.

Snow Bison

So yesterday was a pretty full day! Before I get into it all, though, I wanted to share these pictures, taken on our way home yesterday.

I’m always thrilled to see the bison this close to the road. Such beautiful creatures!

They are quite well insulated from the recent cold…

…and quite enjoying themselves; earlier, we had seen some of the littler ones running and jumping around in the snow. Even though these would be the ones born last year, and not quite their adult size, they’re still massive enough that seeing them running and jumping is an amazing thing!
