End of 2017

...and then there was no more pictures.

September 2017

I went hunting and shot a bear (to eat)

And since I shot it I didn't want to waste any part of it so I worked on the hide.

That's another bear who was not shy at all and coming to me.

 

September was also the month of harvesting the garden.
I had beets

 ...and cabbages

.... and rutabagas

I did a quick trip (flying) to Fort McPherson to visit a friend of mine.

 It is such beautiful country!!

The geese of course started flying south

 Mushrooms were coming out

And I had this awesome experience with a wood pecker.

August 2017

It was such a hot dry summer that I put water out for the squirrels. I started doing it after I noticed them drinking from a container out for another reason.

 As a result they became quite comfortable hanging around and this one is lying there relaxing on the handrail

which of course resulting on the squirrels eating my lettuce..... who knew that squirrels ate lettuce??

Hand games ( a traditional Deneh game ) in Fort Smith. I love watching hand games. This is the only time form my experience when Deneh people who are usually so stern actually show passion
