Nice spot on a cold winter day


 We're getting some cold temperatures in Northwestern Ontario now. The low tonight is expected to be in the low -20s C. Red Lake has been even colder. There is a good wind too.

Doc and I just took a short snowshoe walk and purposely stuck to trails protected from the wind by trees. The bush is still heavily laden with snow from the last storm a few days ago. 

We now have about 16 inches of snow on the ground. That's enough to keep it from freezing and apparently also enough to make a cozy snow den for a partridge. We spooked him on our walk and he came blasting out from beneath the snow only to perch on a branch not far away, confident that his camouflage would keep him safe.

Neat pictures. That wood burning stove looks nice and warm.
