Feeding Chickadees

 

A whirr of wings –

a gentle touch

of delicate feet

on my outstretched hand.

I am filled with wonder

by the intimacy and privilege

these tiny, winged beings

bestow.

Deer photos

After the fox that I spotted during my recent visit to Ile St-Bernard (see my previous post), I saw a few small groups of deer.  Soft snow was falling and they looked like they had been dusted with powdered sugar.

Sometimes they would allow my close proximity; other times they kept their distance.  In any event, it was wonderful to be in their presence.

And on a final note, I thought this little Chickadee deserved a photo - especially considering her lovely snowflake "fascinator"!
