Winter Wednesday

Today winter really began.


And the Duo was ecstacic.


364 Days ago, last winter began. On that day, Tiny the Black Bear walked westward toward his den. Notice the -11°F temperature in the upper right of the photo.

A short time later, he was even more covered in frost.
Those were the last photos of him until May of this year. He must have snuggled into a den almost immediately after he passed my trail cameras.

I wonder if Tiny is walking to his den now. I've noticed that some bears time their walk toward their dens almost to the day, every single year.

    You can tell from the first photograph that they want you to release them so they can romp in the snow. I'm nowhere near ready for winter.

    We are hiding the screen from the two snow dogs here - they would be so jealous:)

    It would be fun to catch Tiny on his way again this year.

    The snow is beautiful and you guys look like you're having so much fun! I guess I'm just not a Winter-loving weenie. The snow would bury me and they wouldn't find me until spring! :)

    The bear pictures make me smell Winter!
    It's still a bit early here for the bears to tuck themselves in, I think. I'll hold off on filling the birdfeeder for a while yet. But pretty soon!

    I'm with Mr. Bear... hibernation is a good thing in a warm cave, with treats and a book :o)
