Up in Fort St. John earlier this week, we learned that moose are not an uncommon sight in certain areas of town.While we weren’t fortunate enough to spot one, we did come across some deer on the drive to Dawson Creek.

Having lived in Kelowna for a number of years, deer aren’t an uncommon sight; there, they can be unwanted visitors for orchardists and gardeners. Here, though, we were clearly on what remained the deers’ turf, and they paused to suss out the visitors.

Independent of the creatures’ appeal, I love the lines in the photo above, where the branches weave a series of horizontal lines that form a tangled and protective wall.
