The Clean-up Crew

With this 'Coast to Coast' blizzard, we are fortunate that we can stay on the property, no need to travel. We can enjoy everything that comes with snow and the cold. I focus on the shear beauty with my camera. The tracks of birds and animals that appear by morning are plentiful.

The night-shift workers have discovered the day shift benefits. We knew the boulder was being licked clean of bird seed each night, now we know who has a taste for granola. This mom and her two fawns have stayed for the day.

Our birds have been displaced, they come back to polish off the remnants. Role reversal.
It is Christmas day. Everyone at Deer Fern will have a hearty meal. Especially our out-door guests.

Merry Christmas!

Great closeup shot of the deer. We're looking forward to returning to the snowy Sunshine Coast this weekend.
