Who's in our Driveway?

Trail Cam Photos

I placed a trail cam on a tree by our driveway. I was not surprised to see a cat stroll by, but the deer was a surprise. I knew that deer visit our yard sometimes, but usually in the back yard or on the far edge of the other side yard.

And a few days later, another deer visited. It looks smaller to me.

I've cropped these pictures to show off the subject.

Night photos are not in color. The flash can make the eyes look funny. The sweet bunny looks almost scary.

I've smelled a skunk at night a couple of times. Here he is!

And on that same rock, a robin.

The rest of the pictures show people instead of critters. There were so many photos of package deliveries, I pulled a bunch into PhotoCollage to combine them. These don't include all the small packages that get stuffed in our mailbox out at the street.

All those boxes have to go somewhere. The camera caught me putting some in the trunk to take to recycling. We don't have curbside pickup here, so I go to one of the "convenience sites" every week to drop off recyclables. They have to be separated by category and boxes have to be broken down. I sometimes wonder if the gas I use doing this outweighs the benefit of recycling. I combine this chore with other errands so that I'm not driving too far out of the way.
