The Would-Be Farm: A Marlin Perkins Moment.

9/16/2015

6 Comments

 
We set the game-cameras up before heading off to Canada earlier this summer. Mr. Linton picked a likely spot where the beavers seemed to be active, making sure NOT to choose a tree liable to be harvested by those busy creatures.

On our return to the Would-Be Farm, I connected the camera with the computer, downloaded hundreds of images and started paging through.

There's a slide-show in it, but seriously, check out this furry buddy...
Picture
A black bear. Holy heck! And not a small guy, either. I will be singing even more cheerfully while I harvest the wild raspberries this week, one way and another.

I sing like a fool when I ride on the trails for just this reason. Hopefully no human being is subjected to this punishment while I am out there, but I am keeping them safe too!!! Ya know what I mean?

You always knew these great survivors were picking fruit right alongside. Now you have the great profile gotcha! Thanks for the fun picture (and secure the groceries).

Oh heck no! I think this is the first black bear in our part of the county in 50 years...Next up: moose! It's part of the evolution of the landscape from wild to farm and back again.

And the groceries are secured because of the danged squirrels. Rat bastids.
