I live in a magical place. Not only do I have beautiful, adorable farm animals, a love of a dog and a pet guinea hen, I also have access to a plethora of wildlife. However you never know when the photo opportunity will arrive. Jim and I were strolling near the swamp below our house and on a lark I threw my camera in my pocket as we were leaving the house - "just in case!". Jim lagged behind me and when he caught up I asked what he was looking at. Jim said, "I was just standing there and all of the sudden the beaver was swimming with some sticks in his mouth and climbed on top of the beaver hut to add more material - he's building a frickin' hotel." I hurried back to the spot to see if the beaver was still there and he/she allowed me to take several photos...so here they are...nature delivering its finest moment when I had my camera!!

Icelandic horses and Scottish Highland cattle seem to live for winter!! One would think that they'd head for the shelter of their barn but instead they stand facing the wind, bangs blowing, snow piling on their backs in complete peace with nature. It's a magical sight!
I'll remember this in the middle of summer when they are miserable - they hate the heat, and they hate the flies more.

Burtee's no "winer" - but he seemed to know that this present should really be his!!

Is there a better spot than the boulder behind our house to survey the kingdom?

It's quite funny when the wild turkeys parade through our yard. The chickens disappear in a flash and Uni, the guinea fowl, seems strangely attracted to them.

Can you believe it -- snow flakes have been swirling around in the air all day and the large mammals, aka the horses and cows need a little more than the frozen tundra can provide. Hence, the first day of many that I will be tossing a few hay flakes their way. I know it's December but I am not quite ready for winter. Are you???
