Working on the wood duck nesting box repairs, going back to the garage, I looked up. They are such interesting creatures. This one was up a tree near where I was working on the nesting box. Can you see the small, round shape?! I am always happy when our critters reproduce. It show that our habitat is suitable.

I first spotted Charlie, the porcupette, in October:

The photos aren't great, with the cloudy day. I love watching them. Here are photos from another season! I found a dead one, and was fascinated with their claws that hold them up in trees blowing in the wind.
We had 18 deer Sunday morning. Except for Clover, whom I met in the forest, they all disappear in the day.

I was inspired by Hodge Podge Craft's free meadow embroidery pattern. I don't think I have the patience to embroider right now. Jocelyn, ever the crafty woman, posted the information and I went with it! Many crafters, artists, and artisans inspire me. Thank you, all.
..in the Adirondacks, many porcupines never make it across the road.
ReplyDeleteWell, the camera of course didn't see your sky blue...so I like the second one. Really love the bee!

ReplyDeleteOh, new word learned today - procupette! So cute, so the name had to suit, right?
I like both images; the first tends to accentuate the flowers, the second gives a vista and draws greater attention to the bee... YAM xx
I didn't know what a baby porcupine was called. Thanks for the education this morning.
ReplyDeleteWhat a hoot, I downloaded the same pattern, after seeing the link at Jocelyn's blog !!!!! I think I will embroider it, my drawing skills are non existent. I like the top version without too much blue sky. You still have a lot of snow, there is a cold snap coming to NZ, and snow in the far south is predicted.
ReplyDeleteI like the one with the blue sky -- and what a great idea, both versions, the way you used that pattern. Porcupines really are interesting creatures. Do you put out salt? I've always heard that they need a lot of that. Probably an old wives tale (but that's what I am, so I'll believe it ;>)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fascinating creature, we don't have them here in the UK. I didn't realise that they climb trees.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the picture without the blue.
I didn't know porcupines got up in trees! I think it's stuck like a cat too high in a tree. Thanks for educating us with your videos. They look like cute balls of fur. Bet they're a little cranky though. I like your top drawing best. Linda in Kansas
ReplyDeleteYou see a lot of wonderful wildlife in your area. That porcupine is really something. I liked the first drawing of flowers best but both are pretty.
ReplyDeletePorcupines get a bad press. they are interesting critters.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of the porcupine foot and claws!
ReplyDeletePorcupines are fascinating.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard the word porcupette before. Fun! Another animal I never see here.
