A few things from around here lately, ignore if you're not interested . . . . big snow, big melt, big snow again.

Spring is coming though.

Abby listens intently for mice under the snow, ready to pounce . . .



Keeper howls and barks at the sunset, warning away villians in the valley . . . . every night.



Keeper running through the meltwater lake swamping the road.



Mother and newborn calf, near the aptly named Longview, Alberta.



A scratchy picture taken at sunset a few nights ago, a rancher on a snowmobile had chased this running herd of elk off the higher hill in the background . . . . they were likely munching on his hay bales. As he was herding them instead of openly exhausting them for sport, it's probably not illegal. This herd circulates within a seven or ten mile radius of our place year round, gathering together at certain times of the year.



From a few weeks ago, a crisp morning finds Abby sitting in the field.

Beautiful pics, as always. Thanks for sharing!

Great photos, as always. I love the one of Keeper with her head thrown back as she howls at the sunset.

I love the Keeper one also.

Great pics as always ... I can't believe Keeper barks/howls at the sunset every night. That's hysterical.
