Found a couple of Monarch caterpillars on the milkweed we planted this spring. Have seen a couple of Monarchs flying around them, and apparently they laid some eggs. I've seen more of them this year that for the last 15 years or so.
I had cleaned and re-leveled my box blind I use for hunting/photographing the other day and had a chance to spend a bit of time yesterday evening with my camera. Fall is a great time to be out and about and I am so thankful I have a tractor that I can maintain the place and allow moments like this.
A couple of small bucks stopped by for a visit and then as I left to drive home I caught this ruffed grouse in full display.
Went for a little 15+ mile hike Last week. There is only one place on earth where this shot can be taken looking down on Half Dome. Cloud’s Rest, 360 degree view…
thanks - I didn't realize they had the spot pattern. The trail cameras are fun- we have 2 now and have learnt a lot of who goes where when - including 1 black bear. Not a great shot or I would share it.
Today was not a great picture taking day due to the overcast washed out looking sky but I still enjoyed getting to my land for a few hours today. Central Wisconsin in my opinion has had one of the best fall foliage displays in many years. I hope others in different areas of the country have experienced the same thing!
The white in the center of this picture is my outfitters tent and camping area.
