The Joy of Checking the Game Camera

Part of the fun of living out in the country is the chance to see wild animals. My hubby has several game cameras set up around our land, in the hopes of seeing the "BIG ONE" on camera. Here are some of the photos he most recently got, along with my color commentary. :-)



















Most deer have twins when they have babies. This is a rare photo of a mother with just one fawn. It cool to see the lines that the spots make on the fawn.
















I think this must be the equivalent of getting caught picking your nose!















And DRUM ROLL!!! This is the photo that my husband was waiting to finally see! I have caught him practically drooling over the set of photos of this deer. If you look closely, you can see that this buck still has the velvet on his horns. Eventually, the closer to the rut, this velvet will come off.

I will occassionally post photos from my hubby's game camera. I find them interesting and I hope others do also!

Who Knew!?!

This summer has been a series of "Who Knew?" situations.

1. Who knew that German-Short Hair Pointer could get a sunburn? That 3 types of dogs are susceptable to sunburns: German-Short Hair Pointers, Dalmations, and Pit Bulls apparently. We have always had labradors (Black, Chocolate and Yellow) and now that we have a German-Short Hair Pointer, we never even realized that he could get a sunburn. The poor little dog!
2. Who knew that there was such a thing as a limit on the amount of uploads and downloads you can have when using WildBlue Satellite Internet Access.
   
3. Who knew that when letting your 10 year old son go online onto Nick.com, he would decide to stream tv shows? Hmmm, apparently that takes a lot of download power!
   

When I went online tonight, it was as slow as molasses. I checked our router....ok. Then I went into my account and yeap, the download information was in the red. We are allowed 7500 MB on a rolling 30 day period and we're up to 7669MB in the last 30 day period.

No more blog jumping tonight, no more cruising the etsy forums, no more entrecard dropping, no more multiple windows, no more photos on the blog tonight, (hold on, gotta wipe my tears) hmm, I might actually get some more things made for my etsy shop.

So everyone else, have fun on the internet tonight, I'll miss it all. I'm off to make some things!!

What I'm working on this week

I would like to get some more bookmarks done this week. I'm going to look into having a booth at the Farmer's Market at Festival Foods on Sunday and I think these would do well. I also found some more Eyelash Laces last week that are going to be fun to work with. I'm also working on taking some more bookmark photos taken and getting them listed on http://www.rockcreekcreations.etsy.com. Thank you for visiting!
