9-15-12 The Visitor


Mom and Dad definitely need a high-definition wildlife camera on the back of the house. The security cameras around the house record all movement, so they catch a variety of critters triggering the motion detectors but they aren't high quality. Yesterday, while we were up in the mountains, one of the larger critters came for his Saturday bath around 9:40 in the morning. I guess the cool morning air is invigorating enough for him to decide it was time to take the plunge and get pretty.

Big boy you see above, captured at about the exact spot I stand waiting on Evan and Katy to do their business, had already made the backyard pool/pond at the end of the fountain stream his spa. The video shows him sauntering up from the front yard and plunking himself in the deep end, sitting, turning, and generally enjoying emptying the whole thing of water before he wandered past the camera you see here.

While Dad was out there yesterday evening making sure the pump hadn't burned up because of the lack of water, here came Mrs. Skunk. It's a regular Mutual of Omaha show out there!
