Some of that water looks great for a topwater plug.Short walk today, at a very popular local spot.
Most of it was more of a scramble than a walk:
It was quiet on a weekday morning, but I did have some company:
“Ideal” companion for the walk:
Not sure. I only fish occasionally for catfish, and well up or downstream from there, where the river is wide and shallow. That stretch is extremely deep and narrow, with a fast current.

Visiting my parents and family for the holidays.
Today, our youngest daughter accompanied me to a local gun store where I picked up this beautiful Buck 113
Spent the afternoon just chilling, drinking Yerba Mate
and enjoying the good company of my Mom’s canary.
Cheeky fella and super tame.
His antics were truly entertaining
In love lol

Cello Dan, aka Dr. Dolittle of Ontario - well known up in those part. He attracts them with seeds and shiny things and then keeps them around with his gentle good ways and a bit of broccoli.

A more fitting knife could not have been chosen for ideal scenic views such as you have shared. Thanks Tom.Short walk today, at a very popular local spot.

I tried to send a private message to you but the site won't allow it. Maybe if you send one to me, I can reply.

Bumper deer...
I think I need to become a paying member for that to work. I used to be able to PM, but I can’t find the option anywhere now. I might go ahead and get a membership this weekend.
Thanks, Frank!
EDIT:
I remember now - I couldn’t PM, but I had a profile page that people could post messages on. That’s the feature I don’t seem to have anymore.

Talking about bumper deer 
!!!
Today, a very nice "Buck" crossed my path just in front of me on the ice trails
If it wasn't for the braking power and directional control provided by the ice spikes on my shoes it could have been disastrous

The bitter cold has returned to Eastern Ontario in the past few days.
Ponds are frozen and ice fisherman are starting to get their cabins out onto some frozen areas of the Saint Lawrence River.
I am tempted to give ice fishing a try. Perch is popular around here
A man after my own heartAfter all ofCelloDan 's photos, when I came across some Chickadees, I had to take photos.

Very nice !!!
The chickadees appears to be a different variety as well from the ones here in Ontario.
A google search indicates they are Mountain chickadees

Your quails brought back memories from 17 years ago and had me going into the family photo archives.
Crazy how time flies !!!
Back in February 2007 I incubated quail eggs in a homemade incubator made from instructions I got online using an aquarium thermostat, a light bulb etc.
The incubator was rather crude and primitive and temperatures and humidity would fluctuate too much at times.
I would get up at night a few times to check on it. It was a rather stressful time until the miracle happened
Those tiny quails were the cutest things. I gave pairs to a few family and friends.
Sorry, no knife content today, the cute little quails will have to suffice

Around my house, we have the normal Black Capped Chickadees, but I was visiting Island Park, Idaho and it's a bit higher in altitude and a bit further north. And there was a group of 4 or 5 mountain chickadees that seemed to enjoy people. They flew into our car through the back hatch when we were putting on our snowshoes. Our car is fairly neat, but they probably found some crumbs to dine on.A man after my own heart
Very nice !!!

The bird highlight of that hike were the Trumpeter Swans and Goldeneyes on the river.

Nice knife Jose ! The handle's beautiful blond horn stands out.
I could use some golden sand beaches and sun right now as well
But I can't complain; winter has its own beauty.
Although not strictly nature per se I thought I would share some pictures we took today of the Rideau Canal.
I have shared many of my boating adventures over the years on this amazing waterway that extends from Kingston On all the way to Ottawa.
This is how it looks now in downtown Ottawa
as it meanders through beautiful parks and historic buildings.The largest skating rink in the world !
We had a wonderful day and enjoyed ourselves as we glided over the ice covering a total distance of about 16 km ( 10 miles )
