I've made a couple dozen small fences to protect some plants. To a cat everything is a toy...or a bed.

or a litter box. When we purchased a sandbox for our kids, we were warned to get a lid and to use it, else the neighborhood cats would.
Wow. Very similar to Alberta. Aspens and cottonwoods?
I spotted this pair the other day. When I startled them they scampered across the road (to the left) and were joined by a third. They have a nest under a bush on the left of truck (barely in the picture).
Poplars, birch, and cottonwoods. Our cabin is in NW Wisconsin so we are a bit further east and definitely south of you.
When is sunset these days for you? It was still a little light to the west at 10 pm central time last night, although sunset is officially just after 9 pm.
Tonight sunset is officially 10:15, but we don't see full dark until after midnight. It starts to lighten again around 3:45 AM.
We have a few spruce mixed in and the odd pine, but that is the majority of what is on my property as well.
Your picture is actually very much like a lot of areas in Saskatchewan, but a lake that size you could almost walk across. They are not known for deep bodies of water. It's the only place I have fished where you can watch the fish take your hook.

This is probably 1 of the twin 10 pointers we saw last fall. The buck knows he lives in the city of Green Bay
and there is nothing you can do to him. I opened the door and he didn't move, went on the patio, didn't move.
Had to walk past that chair before he moved 100 ft to the neighbors. He would make some great venison sausage.

Sunrise hike in Los.
No, the Bucks live in the City of Milwaukee. It is the Packers that live in Green Bay.
I'd prefer a spikehorn, even when ground the meat is more tender.
Not that it isn't all good!

I live near those photos in Hungary. That is Sümeg Castle in one photo. Not my castle view. Personally, I see Szigliget Castle from my kitchen window and front porch. How cool is that?
But I digress....
The post I say is a honest critique. When I first can to Hungary, my view was.... less kind.... First impressions are not always the best impressions.... haha...
But... After living here for a long time, I might suggest, it is to consider, that in this region there were many "hobby" vineyards. And during the period of Goulash Communism many of these properties had small vineyards to make wine or Pálinka, to keep themselves and their relative sufficiently intoxicated...... And what one sees is the remnants of that. Which I kind of like myself. Especially as this region is being quickly gentrified, over built, and completely altered. So these photos are a good historical archive.
And the vineyard methods are indeed very different from what some Americans are familiar with. Very close spacing for example is very common here (as it is in much of Europe). And weirdly, it is not really an inappropriate vineyard method. And most vines are hedged, as a matter of course. That is simply how it is done here. After a short 20 years of growing grapes here, versus the 2,000 (ish) years of grape growing experience since the Romans introduced viticulture in Hungary, I can say, I have learned, they have a point. I tried USA methods here and they all failed. I had to finally admit.... Traditional methods really are effective. Experience (2,000 years) may actually win over New World ideology (at least when it comes to growing grapes)....
Edit: Grapes have been grown around Sümeg Castle for maybe 2,000 years (ish). A 800 year old castle is maybe a simple example of politics.... injected around a then already 1000+ year old wine tradition. I was more annoyed by the Tesco they built across the road from the castle within the last 15 years or so. When I first saw Sümeg Castle, there was no Tesco, but there were plenty of vineyards. And there are fewer vineyards today. And there stands a Tesco.... I find that sad....
Hope this helps.

You must change the wall hangings on your walls of your house every month. Your photos are so outstanding that everybody would love to have a few hanging on the walls. Love your work.
Lot of them aren't mine. I just repost things in and around NM. This one is just about 10 mins from the house.
So was checking on the grapes/vines and heard a rufflling noise a few feet away and spotted this site. That is an ~18" garter snake taking down a (live) Spotted Towhee. That snake is not letting go for nothing.........

Guayabas so good 
From last night, I got this bottle of wine while quickly shopping at Costco in Atlanta and they had so many on sale, was in a rush and didn’t see the small letters about the sweetness, but nonetheless it was enjoyable without a real meal/
