Trail cam update

Hm. The trail cam went unchecked for several weeks again. There were over 6,000 pictures on the SD card. Six-thousand. I usually import the whole reel then delete 95%, but in this case it was better to draw upon the skills of my eagle eyed eldest and sift through the thumb nails to just import photos of interest. I really don’t need 5,900 pics of shadows, grass, and cat tails (not the plant type). I do need a crisp, amazing photo of a gray fox. Nice.

This photo was taken a while ago, as we haven’t seen 71 degrees in weeks. This is about 20 feet from the coop, by the way. I definitely recommend installing hardware cloth around the chicken runs and coop, and buried a foot or more down into the dirt.

Find them all

Frogs in the melon vines

How many frogs can you find in the melon vine leaves? I play this game each time I pass my container garden, so I thought I’d let y’all have a go too. Below is the same image with the frogs shaded pink, if you’re having trouble.

Tiny guardians

I spotted tiny tree frogs hanging out on my melon vine leaves. They are very welcome little guardians since they eat the bugs that eat my plants! And they’re cute.

Paparazzi

Well that is an interesting picture. A little frog was perched on our back window, and my eldest went outside to take a picture, and I took a picture fron inside. The reflections are combined with image past the glass, all surrounding the little frog.

My frog tummy picture was quite blurry. Bummer.

Bold

Apparently the squirrel feeder is out of food, and she has come to complain to the manager.

We took the picture, kept the dogs inside, and put more food in her feeder. Bold squirrel.
