Wordless Wednesday - Contrasts

Winter is back at our home in the Rockies.


Based on history, this really should be the last winter storm. But it's going on for days and days and days. I'm glad that the dogs love it!

So I will dream of the warm places where we hung out last month.

  3. With all the snow Will the Mommy bears
    keep their baby cubs in the dens longer?
    I hope the can find food under the snow.

    1. Yes, they probably will. My den observations from past years show that most mother bears with small cubs leave their dens in late May. However, with this snow, they will either stay longer (if they haven't already left). If they've already left the den, the mother will settle beneath the canopy of a pine tree and she'll cover her cubs underneath her. She sort of cradles them with her legs and arms so that they aren't directly on the ground. The tender caring of a mother bear is a wonderful thing.

    2. i have learned so much about the wild animals that live in your neighborhood. Thank you for helping us understand their behavior so that we can appreciate even more how totally awesome they are. Mother Nature is the best designer, no question!

  8. You are really getting a "last hurrah" of snowstorms this year! We are just having three or four consecutive days of rain for every perfect blue-sky day like today. I wish the black flies and ticks would drown in the rain, but unfortunately that never seems to happen.

  9. 2 hours north of us, they had a snow storm on Sunday. We just had some frost, but it has been cold and rainy most of the week. Not real nice weather at all. Enjoy the snow to play in.
