Local Yokels

Today was a stay-close-to-home day so I hung out with some of the local critters.  You're probably wondering why the heck I would post this shot...

...it is the first vole-butt shot I've ever gotten!  Vole anything shot, for that matter.  He kept darting in and out, disappearing into his snow tunnel in the blink of an eye.  Defnitely my coolest sighting of the day.  I wished he'd reappear but no luck.

There were many really adorable little birds out today.

Not-so-little "little bird" from today

Another local character is my beautiful neighbour-friend Buddy.  He is the most loveable little guy and no doubt is the most popular dog in the neighbourhood.

The neighbourhood sweetheart (but don't tell Osgrrr and Johnny I said that).
