It is not easy being a nature photographer like me. I have to contend with bold squirrels trying to hitch a ride in my coat pocket. It's all the fault (...)

Nice ears

It was so cold the snow sparkled. It was so quiet you could hear a Chickadee fart at a hundred paces. This is the Kingdom of the Frost Giants.
