On the DEWLine 2.0: Dwight Williams

I was heading back to the bus stop to wait for my ride back to the house from today's visitation, and was not expecting to see this young deer munching on vegetation near the top of the ravine.

There they were, though.

Wow.

(Took me over a day to get the picture uploaded, and I apologize for that.)

What is it about our province and kangaroos?

If memory serves...I've spotted examples of these over this past year:

- butterflies
- beetles
- ants
- crickets
- centipedes
- roaches (strictly outdoors, I hope)
- house flies
- mosquitoes
- grasshoppers
- mites

Not a complete list by any means.

Yesterday, I saw a ladybug on the outside of a windowsill, four stories up from the ground. Assorted other insects elsewhere in the neighbourhood, as well. Such as an ant or two this afternoon. Spring is definitely in our part of the Northern Hemisphere now.

Spotted at Bruyère Village in northern Orléans...just sitting there at the time.

Flight, this way and that.
Not south-to-north, not now, though.
Geese are so off course.

I got out of the house for a while today. Took the bus to Beechwood Cemetery to inspect the family plot, and it turned into a walking tour of the cemetery as a whole. From Poets' Hill to St. Laurent Boulevard took me roughly an hour.

The weird highlight was seeing two wild turkeys wandering quietly through the RCMP section. I did take pictures, and I hope to upload the imagery to Flickr at some point.

And now, I've really buried a truly dead chipmunk.

I hope it wasn't the one I woke up by trying to bury earlier, but I fear that's a bit too much luck to ask for from the universe.

I went to Nanaimo to visit relatives, and one afternoon, I took a walk along the shoreline south towards the downtown...

The back yard continues to host at least one adult rabbit with bunnies to feed and raise, at least for the next few weeks.

The House Rabbit Society website has provided a list of items with which to supplement their regular feed. Our household has no plans to try to domesticate any of them. So we'll leave out the odd bit of table scraps - with reference to that House Rabbit Society list - to supplement their regular forage-feed, and otherwise leave them be.
