The Weasel Turning White

It has been a very busy fall and start of winter and I have done a lot of fun things but one of my favourite was to follow the weasel (known as The Kid) turning white.

He is so handsome

 He is strong

 and slowly is starting to trust me more

 You can see a little white starting on his cheeks

He is curious, and wonders about the camera: is it food?

The way he turns white is a little messy really.

He is totally a meat eater

He is so fast that he makes squirrels seem slow. Taking his picture, with the slight delay you get in digital cameras, is not that easy.

He turned totally white in two weeks from the days there was a hint of white on his cheeks.

Still wondering if the camera can be eaten.He is climbing on me to see what I have in my hand.

And not shy!!

"Hello, some of us are out here waiting for food!!!" He really makes me laugh.

Everybody Wanted to get Involved with the Latest Moosehide

It was kind of fun to see that I wasn't the only one who wanted to work on the latest moose hide.

The whiskey jacks were the first to show up. 

Then the weasel was there and very interested.

Fall Colours with Tamaracks

I love the way tamaracks turn such a beautiful yellow.
