Moon and sun rising...

It's supposed to be a full moon tonight.  I took the "moon shot" last night.  It's pretty cool to see it pop up through the trees.  This is the sun coming up this morning.

Happy Birthday Russ!

Russell is 6 today.  He's been with us about 4 1/2 years.  We're fortunate to have some of his "baby" pictures from the breeder.  You can see why he was named "Rusty".  We call him many names, but if you want his attention, Rusty is the one to use.

Snow pictures

So we had a much anticipated snowstorm that didn't happen and then we knew we would get additional snow and then got dumped on.  I tried posting these the other day but had trouble.  Of course mostly melted away now.

Here are a few pictures of the trails I shoveled for Russ. 

Who are you looking at?

Most of my deer shots are taken without them noticing me.   This time I was spotted.

Our latest "snow event"

There was much excitement and preparation for a project 7"+ of snow on Thursday.  School let out early. Businesses let out early.  It turned out to be more of a yawn...I measured 5" in the backyard.  Here is our view out the back window...

Young deer visiting

We're never surprised to see deer outside but always happy to see who's back there...here are two youngters we saw on Groundhog's Day...
