Wednesday Scenery

Today started with some new scenery and the kind I don't like.
SNOW! This was my yard this morning when I got up. SNOW!!!

We're not supposed to get snow this early in the year. I still have roses blooming for goodness sake! See?

They're small (and blurry) but they're there.

Poor confused little roses.

You know the reason I never moved back to Ontario (or NS or NB or Quebec either for that matter!) is because snow and I don't really get along. I love it....on the mountains! LOL. Not on my driveway or the road or while I'm driving!

On the other hand today I also saw a bear heading up the road on the way to work and a deer on the way home.

Almost makes up for that .....snow

Sometimes I love my drive to work

Today was one of those days!

Why? Because as I came over the bridge I had my first swan sighting of the season. I live and work in a fairly rural area and every year we have swans come. I'm not sure where there are the rest of the year, but they're lovely to see every fall for the first time.

On my drive to work I have also seen; wild rabbits, hoards of frogs, deer (one so close to the road that if I had been in the passengers seat and rolled down the window I could have touched it!), bears (singly and Mamma with cubs) and a fearless coyote.

We are also blessed with eagles regularly. I get to see them in trees at the side of the road and soaring high above. Sometimes so high you can barely see them.

Wildlife; it's one of the perks of the job.
