Not much happening here - the weather continues to be warm for this time of year. It was 2 degrees C today! I'm attending a Christmas concert on Saturday at the Art Centre. If that doesn't get me in the spirit, I don't know what will. I'm looking forward to it though. I usually attend the Christmas concert of the The Whitehorse Choir each year and thoroughly enjoy it.

Thanks to my friend Iris, I have another link for you. This has some great shots of the Yukon (as shown above) and you can download the pictures (and use as your wallpaper - which I did!). First click on the Yukon ad (or Australia, if you wish), then at the bottom of the page you will see "Gallery" and click into that, then at the bottom of that page you will see "Lifestyle Yukon" and click into that. (I guess you could also click into "Lifestyle Australia" if that is your preference, but why would it be?) Here is the link: CLICK HERE

So I'm suppose to be getting gifts together for Christmas and here I am watching a lonely raven on the lamp post. They never cease to amaze me. They are descending on my (birder) neighbour's yard, scaring away the magpies from the suet cage that fell onto the ground.
While watching the ravens and magpies, a swarm of birds flew in like a whirlwind, rested on the leafless aspen, and all few off again. On their second flight through, they dispersed amongst the multitude of feeders in the yard next door, staying only briefly before continuing on their way.

Perhaps I'll think Christmas tomorrow.

Watched Tasha and Dave this morning on Breakfast TV (Vancouver) - (where was Simi today???). They showed this fun little website and thought I'd share it with you. As I'm having one of those days when everything seems to go wrong, it made me sit back and smile. CLICK HERE . Enjoy!
