My Own Little Paradise

I recently got my hands on an awesome little woodlot.

I took this first pic a few weeks ago. The snow was still way too deep to venture in,

so I snapped a shot off the neighbor's land.

Last Friday I decided to strap on my snowshoes...

And head back over to do some exploring :-)

There's about 2 feet of snow left, more in some spots.

I had a pretty good workout going up the hillside.

Hard to tell from the pictures, but the lay of the land suggest I might have

a little creek flowing through. At least in the spring. Looking forward to finding out.

I spotted lots of tracks and a few "homes".... then I met this little guy. 

He just sat there and stared at me. Then he stretched like no one was looking so he could reach a piece of hemlock (I think) and nibbled it, in two bites like he was thinking "no one saw that". You know like our cats do, when they stick their heads under a carpet and seem to think we can't see them.

He scampered away a little while after.

Now I know where he lives ;-)

I'll wait for the snow to go down some more,

then I'll head back out there for some more exploring...
