Slow Saturday

Last night’s trail cam images showed that not much was happening … I do think it’s a good thing that the bears are roaming and foraging.  Maybe this is time to concentrate on Flopsy, the tattered-ear doe.  She was here late this afternoon, still looking fat with child.  I wonder if the cold
 snap the past couple nights has to do with the timing of delivery?

Meanwhile, back at the rock … the birds, squirrels & chipmunks are happy campers. Hubby weed-whacked around the Hard Rock Diner, exposing all of the shelves.  At one point, I saw four squirrels, a chipmunk and 2 mourning doves, all peacefully co-existing♥  It’s amazing, how huge that rock is.  Doesn’t look like much with a bear laying on it (well, that looks WONDERFUL ~ oops mind wandering now... ;-) but a D-8 dozer put it into place. It's well over a ton and has layers like shelves where different critters can have their own little space. There’s always something happening at the HRD!

Hubby also opened up the trail cam trail a bit, since tall weeds and grass had begun to trigger the camera for no good reason.  When I changed out the SD card today, I switched the cam to ‘video’.  Hope we get some good viewing soon, other than Shadow strolling into the woods.  He has been known to herd turkey and flush out quail … goodness knows the adventures he has!  Hmmm, note to self:  check into critter cam… ♥

“The American Indian is of the soil, whether it be the region of forests, plains, pueblos, or mesas. He fits into the landscape, for the hand that fashioned the continent also fashioned the man for his surroundings. He once grew as naturally as the wild sunflowers, he belongs just as the buffalo belonged.…”
