Thirty Centimetres More



More snow we got 30 centimetres more over night so I've put on my snow shoes for a walk around and to add seed to the bird tables.

January Bird Table



I have had a few requests to do a longer video uninterrupted or edited of the bird table so this is in reply to those requests. If you are not interested in birds this one is not for you. The video is two longer clips taken on the same day and I just let the camera run so you see the action as it unfolds so to speak.

Winter Hiking


Out for a hike on one of our milder winter days and I decided to have some hot soup ant tea heated with the little camping/hiking stove that I just bought from China. It is an amazing piece of techknowledgy as you will see I have no idea how they can make it and sell it at this price point. This is a link to the one that I bought:

And then it snowed some more



Just some clips and a short time lapse that I took during a recent snow storm. Also a slow motion of a raptor of some sort at my bird table.

Cabin off grid Solar Project Update



Just wanted to show you the solar equipment that I bought recently. Now I'm waiting for better weather so I can start installing it. If these links work this is the things that I purchased from Harbor Freight. The prices shown are higher than what I paid there was $50.00 off coupon for the kit for example.

Winter's Night at the Cabin



A winter's night out at the cabin. A cold stormy night but cozy and warm in the cabin with the wood fire burning. Back by popular demand so to speak. My videos from the Cabin are always very popular and I get many requests to do another winters night in the Cabin video. Towards the end of the video I tell a story from my experience of walking the CAMINO DE SANTIAGO . I have done a couple of these walks and if that interests you these links are to a slide-show and some videos taken on these walks.

Larger Birds at the Bird Table




Another bird table video I was surprised to have crows feeding at the table. There are always lots of them around but I never seen them at the feeder before.

The difference a few days can make




Out for a walk to show you one of my favourite places on a nice sunny day then returned three days later after the big freeze to show the vapour on the water. A look at two funny little signs at least I think they are funny. Happy New Year every one, wishing you all the best for 2015.
