It was a usual day off with some chores to do. Actually, we had to go to the post office, which is unusually far from home, about 30 minutes of walk. It is a very picturesque road that goes through a nice park with a creek. ( The creek's name is Deerlick Creek, given by settlers from Europe in 1800s, just because at those times there were deers, that would come to lick the mineral deposits along that creek . There's no deers any more, of course, though I saw one around that area once and was not sure whether it was wild or belonged to smbdy.) Usually this place is full of sounds, but today it was very quiet, almost motionless. I had my camera with me (of course!) hoping to see something interesting and ...I don't know... something wow! I didn't see anything like that , but enjoyed the meeting with the ugliest squirrel ever,
though it tried very hard to earn a treat by modeling....
there was a wood pecker and a hawk, and a few other things I enjoyed...
So it turned out to be a nice day, kind of connection with nature, someting I had back since I started photography, and something I missed so much after we moved to Canada...
