We had a visit from a mink today. It was raining pretty heavy today, and the mink was quite wet. It moved quite quickly and was hard to get a good photo of it.
Our Mink Visitor
Squirrels and Birds
I thought I would put some pictures of some of the birds and squirrels I’ve taken over the last year. God has made many special creatures in this world.
More Pictures of The Fisher
The fisher has been around for awhile, which has given me more chances to take pictures of it.
More Photos of Barred Owl
The barred owl stayed in our area for a couple of days, which gave me some time to get some more photos. It spent most of the day in the tree and was intently watching the squirrels in our yard. I cropped a couple of photos so that we can see the face, and the […]
A Barred Owl Visits
We had a visit from a barred owl today. It’s been quite awhile since we saw one in our yard. It stayed throughout most of the day and for most of the time, stayed up in a tree watching for something to eat. I had the opportunity to see it taking off from the tree […]
Swans

A Fisher Visit
Recently we put two trail cameras up behind our house. We’ve seen a fox, a turkey, and two fishers. Today we were able to see the fisher in the daytime. It was pretty fascinating to see and we hope to see it more often in the future.
Sunsets
Winter sunsets are beautiful on our lake. We get to see them better because the sun is further south and the sunsets are on the west side of the lake.
Winter fog
Winter is definitely here. The snow has come, the lake has frozen, and the ice fishing is well underway. At times, our lake looks like it has a fishing village on it. When the sun is shining in the mornings, we often see fog on the lake. It’s a beautiful time.
Mourning Doves
We have several mourning doves staying in our area. I know a lot of people find them to be a nuisance, but we have been enjoying seeing them. This morning they were sitting on trees with the sun shining on them, and the trees behind were in shadow – perfect chance to get some pictures. […]
