Friday February 28, 2014
Pardon my long absence but before I sold my home in Okotoks I had to get rid of everything, including my computer.
I am now back in Cuenca and have selected a few photos from Feb 14-25 from Canada to share with you. While I will miss the fresh snowfalls and my deer, I won't miss the cold, the wind, the ice, and the shoveling.
It was wonderful to be with friends and family that treated me so very well and it makes a return visit much higher on the agenda.
Upon my return I made up some new nectar for my buddy, Tom Thumb, and he was waiting to be hand-fed this morning. That sure made me feel good that he hadn't forgotten me. I will try out my new 2x extender soon to capture his images for you.
Hope you enjoy the photos. That was the day's excitement, Cheers, Al
