I just felt like sharing some pictures I took while I was house sitting last week. Scenery pictures aren't really my thing, and I've never really taken any before, but I thought they turned out nice. There are also some deer and a squirrel too. I hope you like them!

Deer in the front yard:

WOW - I just finished posting some Alberta hike pics - and deja vu! Looks like you were housesitting in Kananaskis country too.

Missed the deer and squirrel shots - yours are stunning! Sassy little guy - what a poser! :)

OK..what's your secret? How'd ya get a deer, cattle and a squirrel to pose so beautifully for you? Holy Crap! What gorgeous pictures! I'm blown away! Of course you already know how I feel about Dance, but, but, but...critters that don't normally stand still enough...

You know I'm tongue in cheek, but seriously, I'm almost ready to cry. Simply exquisite pictures! Thanks!

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING PHOTOGRAPHY!! My gosh you live in a beautiful area and your pictures are awesome. Hubby just got a picture of a young buck in our back yard the other day and was so excited (we live in a suburban area with traffic all around). It must be wonderful to be surrounded by such beauty.

Thanks everyone!

Tasha, I'll definitely think about it. How long will you be away? And could Dance come?

:eek: Wow, that house must be expensive if it has such a veiw! What a gorgeous area to live in. I like the first one of the deer.

More beautiful pictures. :) I love the first picture of the buck and all of the ones of the squirrel. You must have a great zoom and a very steady hand. ;) But my absolute favorite is this one:

That could be on a greeting card.

Those shots of the waterfalls and creek are beautiful! Of course, I always love animal photos!

This is my favorite!

Haha, it was nice for the first few days, but then I got really bored. There were no people around to talk to, and I was scared to take Dance for long walks as there were lots of bear sightings by neighbours.



Joyce, my camera does have pretty good zoom, but the animals aren't very shy of people over there. The squirrel let me get within about a foot of her and just kept chomping on the bird seed. The deer don't leave as long as you're really slow and quiet either. They stopped and looked at me sometimes, but pretty much just carried on doing what they were doing.

I had to come back here again now for another look at your beautiful photos. This has been my background since I visited here last time. What a great shot! ;)
