I didn't pay any attention to the backyard when I opened the door this morning.  As I stepped onto the deck, I noticed some movement.  My deer friends were in the back yard, eating their breakfast bright and early today.  That was a great way to begin the day.

That little inner voice of mine told me to keep the camera handy this morning so I placed it on the front passenger seat when I left.  It also told me to leave for work a bit earlier.  I'm glad that I did.

I came across a moose about 8 kilometers from home.  It was busy munching on the tasty branches at the Strathcona Wilderness Centre.  I ended up driving by and then backing up.  When I stopped my vehicle and rolled down the window, the moose glanced up but didn't move.  It stayed put the entire time that I snapped my photos.

It was a great beginning to a sun-shiny day.  The air was warm and the sky was blue.  It was the kind of day that I'm hoping for at the end of the week.  Looking at the forecast, I don't think that is going to happen.  I see an overnight low of -39C.  I better re-stock the wood box.
