Here’s some oddly shaped mushrooms … at least from this low angle …

I guess if you’ve ever wondered if mushrooms are male or female this should answer your question … I’d say they are distinctly female. Wouldn’t you?

I don’t know if this bird is overjoyed that it discovered some berries and it’s doing a flip in the air as a result … or if this is just the start of a very bad landing ..

What do you think? Bad landing or joy? Or maybe it’s just really windy?

Either way it’s both a pretty picture and a funny picture at the same time. I think so anyway!

Isn’t this the sweetest thing? Two tiny fawns (baby deer) hugging in a field of flowers …

I think it’s adorable. I only wished that I’d seen this with my very own eyes. Too cute!

Aw, don’t they make a cute couple?

I don’t know if this is just a hug, play or something else (maybe peekaboo since one has it’s paws over the others eyes?).

I certainly hope that they aren’t getting ready to make more raccoon babies!

Now that the weather has warmed up here in Toronto (the snows actually melting and it’s been raining a LOT) we’ve been seeing raccoons almost daily! One seems to like our driveway. I guess I’ll have to walk the dog in the driveway a few times during the day to get her scent there in the hopes that it will scare the raccoon away.

If it’s warmer in your area, have you been seeing more wildlife lately?

Oh sure this deer looks cute … but I’ll bet it’s just been in someones garden eating all the roses and tender shoots on someones prized plants.

It’s sticking out it’s tongue because it’s saying “Ha ha I got your plants, again! Oh and I’ll be back for more!”

Ok maybe it’s not saying that but I’ll bet that anyone with animal pest problems (deer, rabbits etc) in their garden would probably agree that the deer could be thinking just what I said it was above!

I’m not sure what kind of birds these are, maybe Cormorants, but they sure seem intent on diving into that one area of water. There must be a school of fish in that area. Yummy!

A few weeks ago the park we take our dog to for hikes in the woods looked like this.

This was as nice as our fall colors got this year in Toronto.

That’s long gone of course.

We’ve had snow a few times, and the leaves have fallen off the trees. Winter is pretty much here.

I’m happy to enjoy the season – as long as I can stay warm!

Everyone seemed to like last weeks relaxed squirrel picture so much that I figured you’d probably enjoy this photo of a chipmunk being fed a snack.

I didn’t not take this picture, nor is it me in the photo, but I have feed a chipmunk like this in the past.

They are fairly timid, but once they get used to you they’ll come up and take peanuts, bread or other snacks right from your hand, or as in this case, right from your mouth.

There’s nothing like lying down with a snack. Obviously squirrels like doing this too!

I think this is some kind of red squirrel.

It’s not one that we have around here in Ontario though! Actually I think red squirrels are either very rare or extinct in this area.

We don’t even see all that many grey squirrels, the area is mostly populated with black squirrels.

Don’t you love this squirrels ears?

Birds can be pests at times, but as you can see from the above photo they can also be quite helpful.

I know that when I’m outdoors at dusk or walking in a forest during the summer I tend to get swarmed with bugs (usually mosquitoes). It might actually be nice to have a few birds around to pick them off me like they are doing to the gazelle? in the picture.
