Up on the roof, again

Ah-h-h, another year has gone by, so it must be time for another on-the-roof photo. I was shoveling 3 feet of snow because I've got some serious ice dams going on, and with wet snow forecast, I needed to get some snow off while it was still light and loose, for the most part.

This guy had been hanging around today but seemed intrigued by me looking down on him. He wanted to get to the thistle feeder SO badly, but he would would come within feet of it and back off. He did this for awhile, long enough for one of my big toes to start freezing from standing in one spot gawking at him. A country coworkers tells me the bucks are dangerous now as they are in rut. Good to know.
