Finally, trailcam critters!

I've seen this Santa around. When I was a kid, my dad had made a nearly lifesize one out of plywood. I remember it on the front lawn. There is one somewhere around here and everytime I see it it takes me back!
It keeps me occupied, creating graphs. Our local health unit numbers keep rising. All we are doing is watching the numbers and staying safe. We pick up groceries from an online order today. 



Back to nature! 🦌

This is the setting for my trailcam. We had visitors, after things were pretty quiet. They came in the dark. I thought I'd show what a pretty scene it is in the daytime.

Those cams are great for seeing your critters.

Here there are plans for a fourth vaccine. Some of the experts oppose the plan and believe China should be addressed. They say the key to the end of the pandemics is probably in China's hands. With four vaccines in one year, it's becoming a farce, a risky one. There has never been such a phenomenon before.

Wow, Jenn, the coyotes ahd deer were very impressive in your trailcam videos. The eyes on those coyotes sort of got to me. I would NOT want to see them at night if I was by myself.

Sorry to read about your Covid numbers. Same here, only worse. We were just told to wear TWO masks OR an N95 one because the new variant spread across the states in just 28 days.

Christmas greetings to you, dear. Santa will be here soon.

Covid numbers starting to ramp up pretty high here. My brother got a breakthrough infection and got the monoclonal antibody treatment. He comes out of isolation tomorrow.

Look at all those healthy looking coyotes you have!!

Bit cool at 11 p.m., those bushy tails are magnificent.Online ordering is safer, just not as much fun or as easy as walking down the aisles, but for the ease of driving and collecting, the best way right now. We have had a lot of Omicron cases detected as they fly in, and are all in strict isolation.Now we can get the booster after 4 months!!!

This is so cool. Wonder what the coyotes are looking for? Not sure what they could eat in the soft quiet snowy night. They seem to want to track where the deer walked.
You could aim the cameras towards your roof, and grab some Santa antics! Evidence!

All we can do is try to stay safe until this wave ebbs soon I hope.

Our COVID numbers were 150 on December 13th. Today it's 1,828!!! It is darn scary here in Hawaii.
