We found a winter sentry standing out side in our back yard this morning. A big towering hulk who seemed a bit intimidating, but friendly. He allowed a picture to be taken with him and the boys.
He wasn’t much of a talker, but said that he just “rolled” in today, but thought he’d stay for a while. We thought about inviting him inside, but he seemed to like the cold better, which was a good thing, since he was a smoker.
I have lingering doubts about the guy, he seems like a “fair-weather friend.” I suspect that he might disappear soon enough.
(On an unrelated note, when is spring?! I’m done with winter now.)

Sometimes when you’re walking in the forest, you can’t see around the bend, but you know that there is a light up ahead (and maybe a bear).

One afternoon this fall, we had a little fun shooting squirrels in the back yard. (Notice the incorrect use of binoculars.)
(No squirrels were harmed in the making of this post. However, a few hay bales took one for the team.)

We were thick in the blues when we when on a hike on our camping trip. We found the blue berries on the top of the peak. They were perfectly ripe and we spent quite a bit of time picking and eating the little blue orbs.
On the way back down, we came across an unidentified blue blob that still evades identification.

During our “Boys Camping Trip” in September, we found ourselves in a downpour when trying to get our camp fire started. So we took turns at holding an umbrella over the fire so that the wood would stay dry.
