Zinnia seefs

Today I gathered zinnia seeds to Dave for next year. The image is so I can remember the colors on the tray. When they dry, I will package them with color labels.

I also picked some of my sunflower seeds. I really love the smaller sunflowers that have many blooms per plant. The large sunflower s are pretty, but they are all one and done. The multi-bloom smaller flowered one just keep on keeping on.


Brother's trail cam July-15 thru 9 am Aug 01

 The date on the trail cam is not set right.  I do not want to try to change it because it is finally taking good photos consistently,  I am afraid trying to fix the date will unfix the photo taking part.

I walked up and got it this am.  There were lots of good pics.  There is a capture of the fawn almost every day.  It is still snapping good pics. It took my pic when I removed the card.  I will walk back up later and replace it.


It says Sep 8, really July 18.






On this day, early in the morning, there were several images of the fawn running and playing.




Sep 10 = July 20.


This is the fawn's mother.  I am not sure if these are scars or just roughed up hair.


A young coyote?


The only buck. 


Both images of bucks within a few minutes time.  I am sure it is the same buck, I think. 

There were a few images of a large doe that might not be the fawn's mother, several of a small yearling that could be from the fawn's mother last year. Sometimes the three are in the same image or in images taken close together.  But, lots of our baby and it's mother.

One or two of a racoon in the middle of the night and a few with crows and squirrels, but these nearly always also had a deer in the frame.  I am so glad the cam is working again.
