Dawgs

Just dogs.  And one people.

Trail Camera Photography

Anyone that tells you that an inexpensive trail camera is incapable of taking nice photographs is nuts.

Trail Camera Photography

Anybody that tells you that an inexpensive trail is incapable of taking cool pictures doesn't know what they're talking about.

The camera that composed this photo was repositioned to face directly east so as to get the morning sunrise and the softer tones of an evening sunset.

Aliens Depart

Not sure if this is permanent - as one can only hope it is.  The aliens have left.

Whew!  Not a moment too soon.

Here is a picture of their spaceship taking-off.  

The flames from the rocket motors scorch a chunk of my trees, melted the snow beneath and almost blinded the trail camera.

 

Dump Run

Trip to the dump today.  Unlike city dwellers who enjoy curbside garbage pick-up in rural America we do not.  It's probably because we have no curbs.

In polite company we call this: Paying a visit to the Brussels Waste Disposal and Recycling Facility.  

Don't you think it still looks like a dump?

Oddly-enough the old pick-up truck started.  It was really slow to crank and fire-up but it did finally start.  No wonder - it's been sitting in the shed since Christmastime I think.  And it's been horrifically cold lately.  I was feeling really sort of smug about that old, reliable truck of mine.

In any event, I arrive at the dump and dump my three barrels of recyclables and a pile of broken-down cardboard boxes.  I prepare to depart and the battery is frankly just about dead.  Engine won't crank.  The guardian of the dump facility performed a good turn by allowing me to hook my jumper cables to his truck battery.  Vroom! 

So much for smugness.

 

Return of the Alien Invasion

Yup.  They're back.  Little green men from Mars or wherever they're from.  They're all creepy aliens.

And recently they tried to zap me with a deadly green laser death ray from their space ship.

 I'm still here.  They missed.  

Interloper

Not my dog.

Someone's been running hounds - for fox or coyotes maybe?

This is definitely a trailing hound...

Things might get a bit tense with the canines if someone's running dogs across the property and the girls are doing their thing.
