Those who have been following me on Facebook recently have been bombarded by pictures of moose. Last week there were two moose that had invaded my backyard and the hill across the street from my house. As a huge city kid, seeing moose is a huge deal. In fact it is such a huge deal that I forgot to remember that moose are more dangerous than cars, and they are extremely aggressive. No matter, I was really lucky that day.

| The cow and calf. At this point I realized the calf was a calf because the cow was huge. It looks like she's suffering from some sort of mange though. It must have been a tough winter. |

Later this morning I went out to clean the backyard when I spotted a group of Mule Deer. Mule Deer are everywhere in Peace River, and can be identified by their large, mule-like ears, and the black spot on their tails. They were just chilling across the road and I had no choice but to snap some photos. I tried to catch a picture of the baby fawn, but alas her camouflage in the trees fooled my camera.

Can you spot the fawn? I barely can.

Later she appeared with Mom

And lastly, the neighbour's cat looked cool.
