So, what's it been?? Nearly two weeks since my last blog? It's amazing, how lack of a good trail cam has curtailed my creative writing!!  Well, that ... and an earthquake, hurricane (and two days without power), and the demise of my computer resulting in loss of all data and over 15,000 photos (outside chance I may be able to retrieve some from the external hard drive...). Lesson learned. Redundant back-up now in place ... or, it will be shortly anyway.  I'm finally going to buy on-line back up as well as the external hard drive (when it gets back from the shop), and all of my photos on DVD's.  

 I've seen the turkeys and babies, and even some strutting Toms lately. 

Peg has been coming around. So has Annie (whose coat is already dramatically changing in  preparation for winter) and her fawn (who is no longer spotted). 

But overnight last night, the trail cam saw what I haven't in quite a while ... 

Raquel and her 3 raccoon babies, 

Fox....


And, a bear

Can't tell who it is ... maybe tonight??

"We were taught to believe that the Great Spirit sees and hears everything, and that he never forgets, that hereafter he will give every man a spirit home according to his deserts; If he has been a good man, he will have a good home; if he has been a bad man, he will have a bad home. This I believe, and all my people believe the same."                                                      Chief Joseph, Nez Perce (Nimiputimt)

This is the best trail cam .... even though the first one had to be replaced under warranty.  Having tried the Tasco 5MP that cost $90 ... this one for less than $170 is a great camera at a reasonable price. Plus, if you buy it by clicking the link below, I think I earn a commission!
