Trail camera caught me starting out on a row with the blonde Lab frolicking in the puddles.

If you look closely you can see the piece of fluorescent flagging I tied to a branch where I had previously left-off.

Chores
A couple of days ago I spoke of my pruning chores. The Frau and I share this task every winter/spring. Walking up and back the rows of trees, singling-out the valuable oaks and taking a limb from here or there. The idea is to eventually get a nice straight trunk that is free of defects. Fifty years from now someone is going to harvest these trees for veneer or custom saw boards and they'll say - Whoever planted and nurtured these oaks sure did a terrific job of it.

Cozy
Even though spring has sprung - overnights remain cold. Last Friday evening the temps dropped to 18 degrees.
Throw another log on the fire.
This is an EPA-certified, low emission, sealed wood burning unit. Very efficient for pumping-out some serious BTUs. Burns a renewable resource too.

Deer
From April Fools Day. Same location where all the deer and turkey action is occurring.
Over the space of two minutes how many deer can you spy in this extended family group in the three pictures?

Chores
Busy day today. For all intents and purposes I am finished with my pruning of the oaks. There's some touch-up to be completed but the big stuff is done.
The girls tore it up pretty good today but came-up short on their shed antler hunt.
The blonde dog did find and retrieve a skull from a nubbin buck and she was mighty proud on that score.
Both dogs did their level best to perform the Labrador retriever impression of a hog wallow. The blonde Lab was a good barometer of really how filthy, dirty they get.

Here's to Good Health
Sure enough winter has been past for several weeks and not much has greened-up just yet.
But I have to say that the deer posing for the trail cameras all look rather healthy. A series of pics taken of three different deer a week ago...

Sunrise Deer
Been experimenting with some trail camera photography - deliberately positioning the camera to exploit lighting effects during certain times of the day.
Some deer at sunrise.
Like I said - I'm experimenting.
