The brackets are two clips from the surveillance camera on our porch. Several months ago there was an incident in the neighborhood that caused almost everyone to get a camera. Since then, I’ve enjoyed it as a toy, often waving toward it as I go in and out. I remembered to look at the activity this day and saved the ones of our going out to walk and coming back home. Lise keeps me laughing throughout the day. You can imagine what the day was like with this as the beginning.
In the time between the bracket videos, we enjoyed seeing the sun come up to shine on top of the mountain. The photo doesn’t do it justice, but it’s the kind of thing we see often. At this point we were on our way to the stop sign.

It looked like a fun walk or in Lise’s case a fun swim. However, I think I’d like some of whatever you two have in your tea/coffee/water.

You’d be disappointed with Lise’s additives. She doesn’t drink coffee or tea, and she takes her water plain. I put lime in my water and creamer in my coffee.

Everything is fine in the neighborhood now, but it was a wake-up call. We needed to be more vigilant in our little backwater.

I try to look at the video clips most days, but when I get busy, I don’t. I’m sorry I missed your dances.

OMGosh! Those videos are hilarious. That camera makes for a bright spot in the day… you never know what you’ll see! Have there been any visits from wildlife yet??

The neighbor’s cat was on camera once. I suspect animals move quickly enough that the camera doesn’t catch them. I saw a fox on the way back from the morning walk yesterday. He spotted us and slipped into the woods.

Not only is it “a beautiful day in the neighborhood” but a fun one as well. That is a gorgeous picture with the sun coming up on the mountain. Oh … and nice videos of the ladies as well. Have there been any more black bear sightings?

No one has seen a black bear lately, but yesterday I spotted a fox on the road. As soon as he spotted Lise and me, he disappeared into the woods silently.

Whew as to the black bear! You were lucky to see a fox on the road. I have never seen a fox before, just in pictures.

I saw one fox in our back yard in England. The sighting here might be the only one for this country.

When I started walking at Council Point Park, a guy who runs there on weekends told me he started going there for football practice in his junior year and saw lots of coyote and fox in Winter. I could hardly wait. We had coyotes, parents and a pup, but they sought refuge there after roaming the neighborhood and I am not in a rural area in the least.
