Shoeing

Yesterday dawned sunny and 30 degrees - a perfect day to strap-on the snowshoes and go out for a walk.




Truthfully there is no other way to get around for any distance without snowshoes.  If I had to hazard a guess we have about sixteen inches of snow on the level.  With a bit more overnight the benches of the picnic table in the yard are now beneath the snow and I have only a general idea of where the Weber Smokey Joe grill might be.  Like an avalanche victim it has vanished into the snowy depths.










The dogs quickly remembered that the path of least resistance is to try to stay in the trail that the man with the snowshoes is tramping-down.  Of course, if you are a Labrador retriever there are hidden delights to be found by going off trail from time to time.  And they did at their own peril.  Busting trail was tough work and left them exhausted.

The objective of the walk was to fetch the memory cards from one of my Moultrie trail cameras and the Bushnell DNR camera that we are hosting for Snapshot Wisconsin.


Upon our return I discovered that my Moultrie operated from January 20 thru January 22 and then stopped taking photos.  Battery life looked OK yesterday so I'll check it again before too long to see what's up.  The DNR camera appeared to have collected more than 250 photos from January 20th to the present.  I'll post some as soon as they've been curated on the Snapshot website.

Stay tuned....
