• Trail Cam Friday!! #TrailCam #IdahoWildlife

    Deer in Sandpoint Idaho Photo-A-Day

    So, remember when I said I was moving the trail cam? I put it between the house and the barn. Look at my creative trail cam holder. And the look of “What is she doing NOW” On The Husband’s face! And half of ME! Turns out to be A PERFECT spot!!! My friends are protected from the weather. I even caught some dancin’ out there! The first few pictures were soooooo crisp and clear! I was giddy. THEN….. the FINGERPRINTS showed up. Let’s NOT name names (THE HUSBAND!) moved the camera and left behind 3 very nice fingerprints (IN THE CENTER OF THE LENS!) that made all the rest of the pictures well…… *yucky. *NOT the first, second or twelfth word to come to mind. I a long string of *yucky words I might add. Since I hate for you not to have some really crisp clear pictures, the following are from the trip to the mailbox in the 4×4…

  • Trail Cam Friday

    I moved the trail cam to the left of our garage door instead of outside my craft room. My thoughts were: A. easier to get too (true) B. better variety of pictures (false) So, these are not the best pictures for the week. Granted, it’s been icky outside. It’s either snowing or raining or both at the same time. Seriously cloudy and gray all day. HOWEVER!!! (See?? Y’all knew I’d find something good! RIGHT?!!?!?) The snow, rain, mist produced some really cool effects for this weeks pictures. Of course, I believe I caught a flying saucer yet AGAIN!! Then these were too funny NOT to share. Bear investigating the camera and The Husband pouring corn at justttttttt the right angle that had me doing a double take. See if you do a double take as well. Last picture is really the only picture that really shows the amount of traffic we get. One of these guys is missing an antler.…

  • Trail Cam Friday

    As you know we have gotten a LOT of snow. Waist high on me! Taller than Bear! It’s stunning but it’s COLD!! The trail cam captured some great action shots, like falling snow. Starting with my two favorite shots. One when the tree dropped all the snow. Second when the smaller deer tells the other “LOOK over there!! It’s ELVIS!!” Last week, I accidentally reset the calendar. So these pictures started on the 9th and stopped on the 15th. Technology when it’s cold outside is NOT my friend. These next few are from a second trail cam Okay trudging back to the trail cam. Hopefully, not to be dumped on with snow… mostly because there is no stick in the camera and it would be a wasted funny picture! Back, safe and sound. But it is gorgeous outside right now.

  • What’s on The Trail Cam Friday!

    Trail Cam pictures Sandpoint Idaho

    These trail cam pictures really show our wacky winter weather this season. Pffffffffffffftttttttt say that 3 times fast!!! One day tons of snow (Could have 16 feet this weekend!! SIXTEEN!?!?) then the rain melts the snow. Spoiler alert! We had a halfa sunshine day!! I have the pictures to prove it!! So here are our friends. Please note how big these bucks are getting. Still no sign of the moose on camera. Although we can hear them and see hoof prints……… yeah I know …. move the trail cam. I will try to remember and get out there before it’s buried under SIXTEEN feet of snow! But first…. DO you see that blue sky?! WOOO HOOO!! Next up is my weird shot! Does anyone else see a face?? This last shot is from the top deck and I swear I see a face! Well, that’s it for this week. I’ll be moving the trail cam again I WILL get that…

  • What’s On The Trail Cam Friday!

    Diane, you pointed out there hasn’t been much to comment on lately. Let’s just call it L-A-Z-Y!! So, I here by designate Fridays as “what’s on the trail cam!” So, after going through 3000 (yeah, you read that correctly 3000) photos I found a few that are post-worthy. I also realized that the batteries must be low because all I have are night photo’s. We get constant traffic by this trail cam. It’s directly on the side of my craft room. I never get tired of the visitors. Here is what we got this week! Here are a few more trail-cam photos

  • HA!! Found It!

    Found IT!! For those of you who read the last post know that I set out my trail cams to try and catch photographs of the new bear cub that is wandering in the trees surrounding our house. Mama and cub come around daily. So, I put two trail cameras out somewhere in the 10-acre spread then promptly forgot WHERE I set them up. TWO DAYS PEOPLE!!! TWO!! But, I was able to locate both cameras. The first camera the battery died the same day it went out. It had ZIP, ZERO, NADDA in photos. Nothing! The second camera I did not clear enough of the brush around it, so every shadow sunrise and sunset, every twig that moved made the camera snap away happily. I now have 546 shots of THIS!!! I mean, it’s a cool log and all but 546 shots worth? Naaaaaaaaaa Rosie, you are right I am the Lucille Ball of Sandpoint. Losing the cameras and…
