The Confederate Canuck

Recently Ella

Here at the Confederate Canuck, we strive to bring you the very freshest Ella possible. The two shots below were taken in the car this afternoon.

Ella sitting by the fire with Mom Saturday night. I can't decide which one is cuter... Incidentally, Ella was very embarrassed later to realize that this fashion faux pas was recorded for posterity in this image.

The North American Tree Ella is very elusive. Sightings are rare, although they are usually accompanied by delighted giggles. Julie managed to get this shot of a Tree Ella on Saturday night.

The Mink

A mink caused a bit of a stir out at the farm last week by showing up unannounced and barking fiercely at us from the protection of the flowerbed. It looks a bit like a weasel, but with a smaller neck. Minks are often grouped in the skunk family due to the strong musky odor they produce to deter predators.
