I've still got two or three more St. Patrick's Day type stitches I'd like to get done.  I very much like this PS stitch "March".  It only uses two colors - to very good effect. For those interested, I do have an April stitching theme in mind - birds!

Another month has gone by, and that means it is time to share the best of our Trail Camera photos. 

During the month of March, we got several 'action' shots of jumping or running deer.  

Lots of deer hanging around.

Another action shot.

Three deer.

Five deer.

These photos are from Camera #2. I think the focus is soft and needs adjusting.

Sprong!

We did not manage any good photos of a bobcat this month.

Looking at the tail, it's a bobcat.

An opossum

A raccoon

A group of turkeys strolled by.

This is the angle from camera #1.

Camera #2 did a better job of capturing the birds.

Near the end of the month, look who is crossing the creek.
See that long tail?

At 11:20am it's a cougar!

Yep a cougar!


What an amazing animal!

  2. I see why you enjoyed that shamrock stitch; what a nice addition to your March collection. I'm always intrigued by the night camera photos, but also always glad those animals are near your home and not mine!

  4. Wow! You certainly see a lot of wildlife in your area.
    I'm loving your blog header which has some pretty Spring stitching and your St Patrick's Day finish is just lovely. Love anything and everything by the Prairie Schooler.
