Anyway, another week has bit the dust.  So this morning I decided I had better write an update.  I realize everyone has been sitting on pins and needles wondering how my new outdoor camera and I are doing.

Here is the update.  Monday morning, I dashed to the camera to see there were twenty-eight pictures on the camera.  I was so excited.  I put the sd card into my computer only to see twenty-two of the pictures were my son setting it up and me taking it down.  THEN there were six pictures of a small deer close to the house heading to the bird feeder.  I was estatic.  However, they were all too dark to share.  I could barely make it out even as I trimmed and edited them.    As per the deer tracks there were two deer there, but alas my camera only captured one ===Not to be daunted I spent the next hour resetting my camera.  I suspect this could be done in a few minutes, but one has to remember who is doing this.

Given my success, coupled with my determination to share photos with my readers, I found three apples left over from Christmas, I tossed them into the yard very carefully so my handy dandy camera would get good pictures.  By this time, the beautiful snow was gone.

The next day, I sprung from my bed and sure enough two of the apples were gone.  This caused me to put on boots and a jacket over my robe because I did not want to waste time getting dressed.  It was cold that morning.... I should have pulled on some jeans...lol.

Anyway, over a hot cup of coffee, I retrieved the new eleven pictures.  Again three were me walking away from the camera, three were me going to the camera...two were of a wind blown limb....BUT three of them were of............ you will never guess......at least it was not the enemy.

A RABBIT munching happily on the apples.  BOO HOO!  Oh I don't mind the rabbit but I was planning on a monster buck! 

Anyway, that's my story - nothing has happened since - I will not give up.  I hear there is snow coming next weekend so stay tuned.
