Thank you. It's just an under $100. Canon point-and-shoot but I am amazed at what they can pack into it.
You would be most welcome Shinpachi ... and if you set up on a tri-pod with the right lens there would be no end to what you'd get. Most of the time I miss the interesting stuff .... like Saturday afternoon a doe (female deer) was browsing 50 meters from where I was sitting ... but she was brown on brown and had I had the camera in my hand ... the shot would have been blah.
Leks' dedicated clearing along the fence-line has revealed an interesting artifact of the initial 'build' -- October, 1981. We sited due South at Tiina's insistence and only had to remove one pine stump that was a souvenir of the logging phase in the 1890's. The tracked loader dug it out and deposited it right side up, next to the fence-line. Where it lived on -- a snap shot of the soil and organisms untouched since October, 1981.
It will now get serious light and more direct moisture and will be fun to watch
This is where I park in the winter to begin my walk in across Willy's land. This is Adele's year-round cabin, no running water, no hydro. She's a tough lady and dedicated gardener.
June 6- 7- 8, cool nights, hot days. Working outdoors in several layers for the bugs is hot and exhausting. Nevertheless I managed a full first cut (like hay) with the trusty Briggs and Stratton powered push mower ... 2 days it took .... in 20 minute sessions. No wonder the moose go mad in the bush at this time of year
Crown Mason Jar - solar lamp. I hate waste and broken stuff. This last winter was tough on solar lights. Brittle plastic globes weakened by UV rays, shattered under heavy snow loads. I hated to throw them out because the panels and electronics were still good ... so I re-purposed Mason Jars. A bit funky .... but who's to say ...? Leks says Mason Jars are "in" right now .... who knew ... I'm trendy ...
Okay,
How about some very, expensive in some parts of the world.................................... pests!
They can pull the siding right off your house.
If your gone long enough you'll find a hole where they have entered the house and made themselves very comfortable.
