Retired teacher. Love nature, photography, gardening, reading and messing about on computer (mostly with my photos!).

@tim_osborne Was this near St. Albert? I've never seen one . . . . .

[Christine Z @Chrizul]

@tim_osborne Thank you. Are these the same ones you've been photographing?

[Christine Z @Chrizul]

Not one, not two, but three coyotes crossed the road as we were heading the the Grey Nuns White Spruce Forest this afternoon.

@Paulatics Everybody knows this kept the Covid blues at bay,
Helped to make the season bright.
Now Chris Moose has found a place to stay,
You'll find him home with me tonight.

@Paulatics Chris Moose toasting by an open fire
Sad this #yegquest has to end.
No more clues boosting brain power higher,
No more questers to befriend.

@Paulatics It's beginning to look a lot like ChrisMoose
is Everywhere you go.
Take a look 'tween the two red men,
He's posing there again,
With fur lined boots to warm him in the snow.

@MsAingeal @Paulatics I must confess we cheated and parked at the top 😉 We did those stairs seven years ago (After yegquest 2013 when the Fort Edmonton Footbridge was one of the clues.) We decided once was enough! But we did enjoy a walk through Patricia Ravine today.

@Paulatics I'm dreaming of a white ChrisMoose,
Just like the polar bears we know
Where the seal fur glistens
And children listen
For wolves eerie howling in the snow.

@Paulatics Here's a holly, jolly ChrisMoose,
As we welcome a New Year
While vaccines grow
A-travellin' we'll go
With hope it brings us cheer.
(Note: It was very tempting to keep going south and catch a plane to Hawaii)

What's better than seeing a Pileated Woodpecker in the backyard? TWO!

We were out for a walk last week when a merlin carrying a bohemian waxwing flew past. It landed on a nearby rooftop and proceeded to eat it!

[Christine Z @Chrizul]

@sljohanson Turned out very well. I think we met there - I have the moose.

[Christine Z @Chrizul]

@Paulatics I saw three moose come sailing in on New Year's Day,
On New Year's Day,
I saw three moose come sailing in,
On New Year's Day in the morning.

@Paulatics I want a home in Edmonton for ChrisMoose,
Only a home in Edmonton will do,
Don't want a house,
No dinky condo home,
I want a home in Edmonton to ply in and to roam.

@Paulatics On the 4th day with ChrisMoose, what saw we on the wall?
4 yellow birds,
3 types of deer
2 Canada geese,
And a moose in the middle of it all.

@T4M4R4C41L @Paulatics I know, really, he tends to be knock-kneed. 😁

[Christine Z @Chrizul]

@Paulatics Here comes Chris the Moose,
Here comes Chris the Moose,
To join in with the game . . . .

@Paulatics Sorry to say Colin Firth is unable to join this yegquest - he's currently in lockdown in the UK. However - I've had another, much smaller, visitor to take on this current yegquest. Thanks so much Paula Simons for livening up this bleak time of year.
