Sunday, April 13th, I changed the location of one of the field cameras to the back of the garden. Deer activity is always busy back there so I decided to get pictures.
What has been comical is the up close, curious attitudes of some of the brown, four-legged creatures.
This picture was caught back in January, in a place not far from the one on Sunday. I have shared it before, but it's entertainment value continues to make me laugh... 
There is another picture I would like to get your point of view on. It came back in January when we were plagued by some foggy days and nights.
You will have to concentrate for a little while before your eyes will become accustomed to what you are looking at, or maybe not... Are you able to see it?
These little critters have had their moments in making our life interesting when they decide they want a place to set-up housekeeping, mainly in the winter months.
I keep reminding myself we moved into their territory not the other way around. We just made it easier to find a warmer place to get comfy-cozy...
I had my trail cameras out during some relatively warm evenings,comparatively speaking, to try to catch the culprits invading our space again...
Some of you may remember from last summer,August 23,2007 to be exact, the anxiety I was expressing when 4 individuals of this species were trying to find their way into our home via the sliding glass door one very early morning.
It brought back memories of my threat of a showdown like that seen at the "OK Corral"~~~
Today I went to collect my two field cameras to see just what was stopping to pose for their pictures. The time stamps have wide gaps - when the batteries warm up they catch anything walking by. The cameras have been out since the 4th with a limited amount of wildlife being captured.
A couple of Alberta Clippers are scheduled to make their sweep through the state, the decision was made to keep one camera inside, and the other would be stationed on the back steps to catch the bird activity. Pictures of the re-cycled Christmas Tree and birds will come at a later time if the chill doesn't prevent the process from happening.
We have had some marauding wildlife in the vicinity as of late. The tracks and vocalizations point to Opossum which make their yearly reservation. It may be possible to catch the little critters in view of the back steps with the trail camera. One was caught in a foggy picture in the field. While I was out hunting I watched one as it briskly bustled from place to place.
Hope everyone is finding something to do to keep warm and well through these cold blustery months. Later!
