Fishing nuts

      

 

I had thrown some nuts into the water of the pond. 

Today squirrel came along and found some nuts in and around the pond. So I knew he would come back for another nut to find.

He saw some nuts floating in the water...and he tried to fish it out. Some he succeeded. However this nut was a bit beyond reach. He tried to reach very far...several times. 

His paws were too short...

Later the nut floated more to the side...so that he could get it easily.

Squirrel on ice

 This was a week ago, when there was ice on the pond..

It was so cute, seeing squirrel dancing on the ice.

Finding nuts

 Squirrel is hungry, as it has frozen for days. It more difficult now to dig up his nuts in his deepfreeze storage places in the ground. 

I put out some nuts...so he is happy today.

Snow

 It has been snowing a few days ago..

It was so beautiful to see everything covered under a white blanket. Now it's al gone again.

These birds had a beautiful covering as well.

Walking on water

This morning when I awoke, it was a little bit snowing. Not much, but I was glad to see it.

I was hoping for getting snow, just to enjoy the pure white everywhere and the calming mesmerising atmosphere when it is falling.

It had frozen as well a little bit..not much, maybe about - 2 degrees C. So there was a thin layer of ice on the pond covered with a little bit of snow.

To my amazement a couple of doves went walking on the ice! which was way too thin...

I waited with my camera to see it what's going to happen and caught the doves on camera walking on the ice. I was thinking the ice might crack under the weight of the doves! Nothing happened...even the two of them together did not sink...

They enjoyed drinking some melted water and then flew off!
