The Squirrel + The Reindeer

I was ECSTATIC since when we arrived at my in-laws yesterday, I spotted the squirrel! He would come back and forth from the bushes to the "food source", so I decided to stay out to take better pictures of the cutie. I stood still around 2 metres away from the "food source" and I got BETTER pics indeed! I also took some video clips, but I haven't uploaded them yet. I'll do it later, OK?

The bad part was that it was cold (around -8'C and I mustn't move too much, so after the photo and video shoot was done, my toes were COOOOLLLLLDDDDD. The temp. went down to -16'C last night.)

Here's The Cutie from different angles and in different poses he he he...You can click the pictures to see bigger versions, so you can see the details more clearly.

My FIL said that he was really tame. Since he is used to my FIL's presence, he'd come out from the bushes, run across the front part of the house to the "food source" he he he...






Then after lunch I got out to the lake on a kicksled. Upon arriving there, I saw a group of REINDEER crossing the frozen lake. Too bad I couldn't go too near since I was afraid I'd scare them away. Even so, they STOPPED their tracks and stared at me from afar. Probably wondering what I was doing HA HA HA HA HA HA...I also managed to take short video clips of them (though not as close as the squirrel), which I'm going to upload later. Anyway, here they are...

See this picture? They were staring at ME!!! HUE HE HE HE HE HE...


In this last picture, they were running away just as I was about to approach them slowly from the lake. Why? Because the neighbour's dog was barking, so they ran as fast as they could. Uuuuhhhhhhh...Well, better luck next time then!
