More trail camera images

I enjoy this camera and how it can be where I cannot.
But I am wondering if I should be concerned
with the fact that I am getting images of raccoons 
almost as often as mule deer.
 This is a popular entry / exit spot for the deer.




And apparently the raccoons like 
the same entry / exit spot. I love 
how the doe is watching them.



Of course the horses are an added benefit and I don't 
mind them at all.
 Except this spot is hopefully not an 
entrance / exit spot for them.


Well I guess I can't complain since there is 
yet to be a skunk in the images.

Trail Cam Tracking

So I just borrowed a trail cam and on the second night after it was installed 
I got several hits through the night. 

Here are some of them.
 I knew we had raccoons around here now after finding one with 
kits in the top of my shed.
She only had three however and it looks like
there are at least 4 maybe 5 with this coon.


 The deer must like this little corner of the world.
It does just happen to be near where they jump the 
fence from the field into the yard.



 However they seem to be camping here as well.

Rock Canyon clouds

I love to see these types of scenes
where the clouds are just hanging
around the mountains.

An afternoon walk

Just a short walk but things are so pretty right now.


Could hear these geese for almost 5 minutes 
before I finally spotted them.

The Blood Moon of 2015

I almost missed this one. 
While traveling home from a family event we noticed 
it as it was about half way into it.
However we live where mountains prevent us 
from seeing the moon until it is quite high over the horizon.
So here is when we were able to start seeing
it and as it was starting out of the complete eclipse phase.

I was having to shoot this at an incredibly high ISO
but it worked.



It was now getting enough light to drop the high ISO speed.






Sometimes I shot with a longer exposure making the eclipse
look in this sequence like it was going back and forth.

 Almost out.


Just had to play around a little and take a shot through
our pine trees.

Now there was only a small shadow remaining.

Moon totally out of the eclipse.

Fall colors coming to the mountain again

The fall colors are retuning again to our mountain
