Trees and Barry

 It was wonderful celebrating Thanksgiving with the kids. I am still curating a few photos. These were in the cue, before the leaves and the snow falls!

Ah, those blue skies. This looks like the last of the turkey vultures. They will migrate soon.

I had help wrapping the swing bench for winter. No, not Cinnamon, Joe Brian! I needed someone with actual hands. This was later. We were headed out.

I appreciate the light levels.

In the back 40, where Barry Beaver is working, the trees are lovely. He is working on the ASPEN saplings.

This is the aspen grove, and the saplings. 

I went for a walk on the far side of the wetland. Barry has been after all kinds of trees. All summer he's gone after Aspens. He is picking on any old tree, I guess for his lodge.

Here is his lodge on the far side of the wetland, covered in fresh mud.

This was last year's lodge, it seems neglected. I had so many winter photos of critters trying to get in. Fisher, coyote, etc.

Back to the house, forest swathed in yellow.

There was a deermouse in the closet. I freed it, but Cinnamon is a deep thinker, not a fast killer, and I went to bed. It's been a busy few days over Thanksgiving. Much fun!

Back at the house, I processed the trailcam memory cards. Barry was working for hours. He was on two cameras, I wanted to show how far he lugs these trees. 

On the other side of the out cropping/little hill, is the path down to the wetland. The doe likes the work Barry has done. Much easier walking!
