We have two trail cams and one is currently stationed next to our driveway. Mostly it takes boring pictures of everyday things, plus sometimes of the geese that visit our yard.
Here they're having a bit of a kerfuffle.
This trail cam gets a lot of pictures of shadows and just us. Here's one where I taking a picture. (Like most of these, this picture is cropped to cut out some of the background.)
Every few days there are shots of delivery people, often moving with alacrity.
Look, a deer! The night shots are very grainy on this camera.
Here's the boy next door retrieving his toy plane. He's a fun kid!
My favorite picture of the batch is this one! Frank saw a pig in our yard but I missed it, so I was delighted to see that the trail cam caught this.
This young man from a nearby farm asked Frank if he could go through our yard to look for his pig. A funny thing is that he came through two days ago and the picture of the three piggies is from June 10, so they had a pig escape more than once! The farm is just across the lake and they have a variety of animals.
Today I retrieved the card from the camera in order to download these pictures.
This line-up of Canada geese is not a trail cam photo; it's one I took.
On a less pleasant note, I saw this vehicle running across community-owned land heading straight toward a flock of geese. It was going rather fast and the occupants were laughing and hollering. The poor geese ran toward the lake in a panic! I think they all made it into the water without injury.
I was angry. I marched into the road where I knew they had to exit from the grass. I stood in the road and they stopped. I bawled out the driver for terrorizing the geese. He said I was wacky and I yelled that he was mean! A young woman in the Kawasaki apologized for scaring the geese. The driver was unrepentant. He is a goose-hater.
