Unexpected buckeye

Common Buckeye

I took this photo before the recent ice storm, then forgot about blogging about it. I was quite surprised to see any kind of butterfly in February even in Texas. I think it was fooled by the 70 degree weather we experienced before we froze, as it was very sluggish. Missy the dog didn’t even see it at first, and keeping her from stepping on it was a trick. She did eventually spot it, and photobombed my shot, so I carefully transferred it outside the fence.

Little bunny foo foo

Trail cam caught the image of a wild rabbit! I haven’t seen one of those in awhile. I was afraid the local cat population had taken them all out. I’m glad they are still around.

You’re welcome for the ear worm. Happy singing.

Squirrel

Nice job trail cam. I like your composition, and the lighting is suburb. A little blurry on your subject, but overall a nice shot.

Oh deer

I rather like where the trail cam currently resides for the close ups of skunks and woodcocks, but it is too close for deer. We get pictures of deer parts. Oh deer.

Another new appearance

Here is another new appearance on the trail cam footage: a skunk!

We have certainly smelled when one of these guys has gone off in the neighborhood, and have occasionally seen one trundling about, but haven’t had the trail cam capture an image until now. Neat.
