Two sets of legs stretch out on a grassy hillside, overlooking a valley with snow capped mountains on the other side, all under a brilliant blue sky.

Through a screen of tree branches, a Mule Deer doe resting on the ground is obvious but hidden.

Today's lunch view while out volunteering.

And the deer in the forest that nonchalantly watched us service a research camera from about 20' away.

Will it be streamed, or recorded for later viewing?

Yes, it is behind a paywall. No e-mail (that they monetize)? No read.

Shrinkflation. The margarine I buy (Becel, in Canada) has gone from 908 g (1 lb) to 900 g to 875 g to 850 g tubs in the last 2 years, all while keeping the price the same or increasing it slightly.

I wrote a letter, too. I was hoping for more, especially from the organization that created the idea of K-Country. Betcha this wasn’t a part of that idea.

I went to Oz in love with Koalas. I came back in love with Wombats.

A heinous development proposal. Building a town of 15,000 people in the alpine. Reopen the ski resort? Sure. Build a town? Stop it.

Kinda wish we were figuring out how to fight the ASRs instead of holding photo contests.

When I first started going to Maui in the '80's, POG was THE drink. Last time I was there, it was available but not easy to find.

I lived in east CH or Renfrew for +30 years, and worked downtown. I didn't even go the downtown branch after the CH Branch closed. If I HAD to go to a library, I would go to Louise Riley.

I used that branch from 1981 (when I first moved into Crescent Heights) to 1993 when it closed. I remember the community's reaction (including John McD's). Its closure basically stopped me from using the library ever again. Convenience matters.

You should call the number for fun just to see if it’s active.

I’m about 2/3rds though the book. Looking forward to the movie.

The actual data (which I worked on compiling) doesn't support anything that RMA is suggesting.

I didn't know #FlickerFriday was a thing.

Where I live, most Flickers are red & yellow shafted hybrids.

Follow the basic rules of cooking, and make up your own recipes. They’re almost always great - and unique.

Then write down what you did, so you can do it again someday.

Why you should report bear tracks in April snow
Why you should report bear tracks in April snow YouTube video by Videos from a Messy Office

Since it snowed where I live today, and the bears are up, I made a new video in my educational short series. Enjoy!

I see these all the time. Sad in some ways that Amazon in Canada never has these sales.

This time of year, I would call in the grizzly track sighting to Kananaskis Dispatch (403-591-7755). Of interest to wildlife researchers.
