Muffin, where are you? She poked her little head out from a small cupboard, then came slowly over to me. How did you get your tail caught in a mousetrap? Meow. What do you mean, “never mind”? I gently remove the trap from her…

Muffin enjoying a snooze.

Muffin waiting for chipmunk.

Daylilies from my landlord’s garden, she hates them. A very old variety.

Heading to McLeod Park, no relation to me, looking back at the CPR bridge and an old tug boat.

Entering the main part of the park with Husky the Musky in view, he is 50 this year.

The park’s fountain.

Muffin escapes the safety of the apartment while chasing a chipmunk.

Coaxing Muffin back indoors hours later. It took quite a while. Sigh.

Enjoying an autumn sunset from my deck.

Major is back and bigger than ever.

He just can’t believe that spring turned into this.

Muffin is starting to fall asleep on what she thinks is her rug.

Major likes to stop in and say hi whenever he is in the neighborhood.

Talk about a nice smile.

You have heard me talk about him, here he is, Chuck, my summer crow.

Here’s Squirk, not really as fat as he looks!

Sir George, ready for take-off. He is one big, beautiful bird.

A white-throated sparrow whose whistle song I enjoy each morning.

Chipping sparrows are very friendly and one of my favorite little summer birds.

Poor mama Squick, she has had a rough day with her little ones.

Muffin waking up from her late morning nap.

Skamper filling his cheeks with peanuts while on my knee.

Rock doves enjoying their evening snack.

This is Checker, my newest little chipmunk friend.

Beautiful Lake of the Woods, not far from where I live, though I can’t see it from my apartment.

This is Baxter, my friendliest blue jay and also seems to enjoy posing for pics.

Big blue is keeping his feet warm on a rather chilly day in December.

This little chickadee just finished a sunflower seed and is ready for more.

This gray jay was just hangin around for a while.

This hairy woodpecker is an oddity, he has an orange spot on this side and a red spot on the other side of his head.

One of our local flock of Canada geese that visit our lakeside park each summer.

One of many dozens of bees that visit my landlords flower gardens. Sometimes they don’t like such close attention and let me know!
