Reclusive Observer

Geese walking in formation.

I think this was a bobcat. Very relaxed fellow.

Squirrel got a nut and he's not giving it up.

Mead with rosemary, sage, and lavender (all from the container garden) fermenting vigorously. It's mead sibling with dried cranberries is about 10 days ahead, still fermenting, but noticeably slower.

Should have started this cranberry mead a while ago to be ready for Thanksgiving, but something to look forward to on a cold winter night.

The suburban chipmunk is common, but elusive; shy, but impulsive.

Squirrel cautiously climbing a tree. Knows he's being watched, but keeps cool. Acorns are abundant now, but can't be all work and no play. Won't waste too much energy preparing for winter getting a nice view.

The backyard squirrel. Always probing, balancing, planning, and playing.

Patio bear visit. Just wanted to say "hi."

Three bears strolling in suburbia.

Rabbit stare-off. I think I won.

Might be getting a little carried away with the container gardening.

This bird feeder is supposed to be "squirrel proof." Don't underestimate these guys, they have skills.

Cautious but calm deer enjoying a light lunch.

Geese marching in a corporate parking lot.

Squirrel enjoying unintentionally dropped bird seed.

Bear outside the kitchen window.

Just some bubbling from the fermenter.

Just a deer outside the patio.
