The Misadventures with My First Camera
Picture this – a bright-eyed teenager, armed with a shiny new digital camera, sets out to document the world like never before with my very first camera. That was me several years ago, and to say my journey was a whirlwind romance filled with picturesque misadventures would be an understatement. My first expedition into the wild, armed with my camera, culminated in what I would later term the “Great Lakeside Incident.” There I was, trying to capture a serene sunset, when my camera slipped, executed a perfect somersault, and splashed into the lake. But fear not, dear readers, for this was just the beginning! Unforgettable Misadventures As I began to…

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.…

Trail Cam Friday December 4th #wildlifephotography
Yeah, the Trail Cam batteries died, and the date is wrong on all of these. Next Friday should have correct day and time. Gesh! If it isn’t one thing it’s a million others. Most of these are picture in the dark because it gets DARK AT 3:30 in the AFTERNOON!!! WhatTHE?!?! I’m really sad that my wild bears haven’t been by in over 2 weeks. Maybe next week’s Trail Cam Friday.

Trail Cam Friday November 27th
I know I haven’t posted many Trail Cam Friday’s lately, but things in our yard had been pretty boring. This past week though we’ve had a couple of beautiful bucks! You know I’m hoping for those shed’s (antlers) to drop by the house for me, come spring!! Aren’t they so handsome?? Want to check out additional trail cam pictures? You can search trail cam (It’s on the left under “Whatcha Lookin’ For?” Or start here for some more of my wildlife photos.

Trail Cam Friday 7/17 SHE’s BAAAAACKKKK!!!!
Trail cam shows that mMy friend the bear is back!! (Yes, I know…. the bears are not my friends….. I know I would be a tasty treat. I know that is how I will die…….. but it looked so sweet and fluffy will be my last words.) I have absolutely no idea what the bright spot is, maybe it’s a SIGN that says “Pet me here!” in really tiny letters. MAYBE it’s a PET collar!!! The only other interesting pictures are the squirrel, rabbit and chipmunk all together. A few deer for good measure. This picture intrigues me. Is it a bat?? If it is why isn’t it using it’s…

Trail Cam Friday April 24
Better late than not at all right?? RIGHT!! Trail Cam Friday is here. This time I took some snap shots of my walk to the trail cams so I could show you where I have them stashed. I did that mostly in case I had no interesting pictures. Hedgin’ my bets. It’s a pretty walk. I also snapped a picture so you can see just how well the trail cam blends into the tree. No wonder I loose them so many times. From the trail cam at the end of the driveway. We got a couple of good shots. Nothing really spectacular. Mostly, The Husband walking Bear. Then of course…

Trail Cam Friday April 17
Seriously, these animals are NOT cooperating with the whole Trail Cam Friday premise! WHAT THE HECK!?!? Do they not understand that I need some real pictures??? I may cut back on their corn if they aren’t more cooperative. The night shot is only because of the littttttle tiny white something in the bottom right. There also was an operator error in one camera. ONE camera you move the switch to the right to turn it on. The other, you guessed it … to the left. So one trail cam wasn’t on at ALL. I can not win! BTW the whole to the left to the right thing….. I have to…

Trail Cam Friday April 9
Well, trail cam Friday is NOT cooperating this week. The most interesting shot was this one! Ahhh the elusive UPS truck. Of course, turkey’s always want their pictures taken. So at least there is that………… All is not lost when I have my camera with me on my hikes. Soooooo here are a few shots I snapped this week as I hiked. Remember the wind storm that we had in March? We lost 30 some trees. BIG 70′ plus trees. To give you an idea of the size of roots I took a picture of my hand with the root. Seriously, the holes that these pulled up trees are DEEP!…
