The Latest Moose Photos

Steve switches the chips on his game cameras every few days. I've been meaning to show you our latest moose pics from ten days ago. That square block in the picture on the ground is a selenium block and the animals just love it: rabbits, porcupines, raccoon, bear, deer, and moose! I get so excited when there are moose or bear or bucks on camera. Have I showed you our pictures of bucks? No? Because they haven't come to the selenium block yet and posed for pics like I asked.

But this moose did!

He must have bedded down and took a snooze because here he is the next morning, back for more licks.

Oops...I think he spotted the camera.

Renovations Make Me Hungry

Steve has banned me to the small part of our little house in the woods because he has been varnishing the cedar and installing a new floor in the larger part of this little 'ole house. I get a little stir crazy because I can't get to my washing machine so of course the laundry is piling up and I can't get into the refrigerator because our bed is pushed up against the doors and maybe that's a good thing now that I think about it.

So when I heard a little rumble of thunder, I put on my hooded sweatshirt, grabbed my camera, called the dogs and we headed down the road, eyeing the sky to make sure we weren't heading into a downpour.

The Fall sky was stormy and beautiful at the same time. 

Is it possible to be stormy and beautiful at the same time?

A little gloomy but we stayed dry.

Still nice color against the dark Fall sky.

As you can see, the leaves have fallen fast. 

Boy, this two-track sure is beckoning a walk or a road trip.

Steve, are you almost done? I'm not trying to hurry you, but let's go for a ride.

Or move the bed out of the kitchen.

I'm not complaining, but I'm hungry.

UP Fall Colors

The Fall colors are at or near peak around here. The last three days have been breezy but the leaves seem to be hanging on as best they can. Even with the wind, it turned out to be a beautiful Fall weekend.

It all started Saturday. We went for an all day hay ride with neighbors and friends. We dressed warm but it really wasn't bad at all. We had a blast - lots of laughs.

Here are some Fall photos I took on our Sunday afternoon ride by truck.

This is one of my favorites. It looks like we are driving through a tunnel.

And I love the vivid green from the pine trees that mix in with the colors.

Hope it's getting colorful in your neck of the woods!
