Glamping: The New Art Of Camping To Embrace
The idea of escaping the hectic and chaotic daily life and exploring the outdoors sounds pretty appealing to many people. However, not all people are ready for real camping: if you have never built a fire or put up a tent, all these nuances of surviving as a camper are quite challenging. Yes, the modern campsites are equipped with practically everything but traditional camping still can be tricky: you must be ready to sacrifice all your creature comforts (hot water, electricity, and the warm bed) and enjoy the questionable food and smelly sleeping bags. For all the people who find the idea of camping appealing but want to use all the normal amenities during the camping trip glamping can be a great option. Glamping Glamping is a combination of the words “glamourous” and “camping” (sounds like an oxymoron, doesn’t it?) and combines camping with having access to all the normal creature comforts which are normally not accessible to campers.

Photo’s On Canvas! My FAVORITE Way To Decorate
If you know me via the Internet or in real life, you KNOW I love taking pictures. I love to decorate with my photo’s on canvas. I would say 99% of the art in my home consists of photos I’ve taken. There is Idaho and of course family photos. If you follow me on Instagram (no?? Why not? I’m funny! But, mostly my view is spectacular! AND there’s a DOG!!) I’ve taken so many photos from my deck that overlooks Lake Ponderay. This view! I STILL can’t believe I live here! No matter how many pictures I take of this view each one is different. Then the wildlife! Oh MAN. The wildlife. Whenever I am lucky enough to capture a critter on my phone, camera or trail cam, well YOU KNOW the really good ones are getting put to canvas. Ohhhh but I think I have a new addiction now. CanvasDiscount has so much more than canvases!!! (YES! You…

Finally, Trail Cam Friday AGAIN!!
It’s been a long time since I have posted my Trail Cam Friday. But, 2 of the cameras have fresh batteries and are ready to go.Looks like this year we’ve got lots of boys!! Spring I’m hoping they drop those sheds so I CAN find them. I’m calling dibs. RIGHT NOW. Set Up A Trail Cam EVERYWHERE! Aren’t these boys pretty?!?! When To Hunt For Sheds? Bucks shed their antlers annually in late winter, usually from January through March, but the exact timing can vary depending on a number of factors: Photoperiod As days get longer after the winter solstice, testosterone levels decrease, which causes the connection tissue in the antlers to weaken and fall off Rutting season During mating season, high testosterone levels cause the velvet covering the antlers to die off, which bucks can remove by rubbing against trees Age and health Mature bucks in good condition usually shed their antlers by the end of February, while younger bucks…

Trail Cam Friday 8/14/2020
First a shout out to Miss Barbra!! Happy BIRTHDAY!!! Now, on to the photos. I thought I would start with the new Trail Cam from Coolife. I’m impressed with the pictures! The spot is pretty good too. Apparently, it’s a deer-only path because that is ALL this camera picked up. But it picked up a couple of great shots of the fawn! The second trail cam is set up on the side of the house pointing down toward the lake. This camera I hadn’t checked in quite a long time. This one picked up turkeys the most, followed by our girl Bear, a real bear, some deer and a mystery dog. Last but not least the main trail cam that faces the house. Only deer. I think I will move one of the cameras to right outside my craft room door and see who comes to visit there….. And the final picture worth posting is proof that are yard is…
