Alien

I headed out to Nordegg on November 28th.  Margarit was initially going to join me, but then we had the potato incident with Hank.  She wanted to stay home and keep and eye on him so that he didn't rip open the stitches in his belly.  Margarit's sister Natalia had a bad experience with one of her dogs once, in a similar situation.  

It was pretty cold when I first arrived.... with daytime highs around -17 and night time lows around -22.  The humidity was high at around 90% and there was a brisk breeze out of the east.  It wasn't really pleasant to be outside, so mostly I just relaxed and stayed in the cottage.  Towards the end of my stay it warmed up quite a bit.  There is only 2 or 3 inches of snow out in Nordegg... less than half the amount we had in Edmonton.

At one point I pulled the memory card out of my game camera.  It seems to be working better than the old one that I finally had to retire.  The focal length of the lens is shorter so it gives more of a wide angle view than the previous one.  If the subject is not particularly close to the camera, then they are pretty small in the frame.

I have no idea what this shot is, and my first thought was that our property is haunted.... or maybe we've had alien visitors...?  Unless some white bird flew by in a blur there is no other explanation for this.....??
