The annual Christmas card picture

Well, every year after it snows and we put the tree up outside we attempt to get a picture of all three dogs for the card.
None of them are impressed by the process. Scooter doesn't like wearing anything, Thor gets bored, and Leo just sticks his tongue out at the whole process.
It always takes about 50 pictures to get one without one of the dogs doing something unchristmaslike. The snow didn't cooperate this year and melted as we attempted to take the picture. So this year's Christmas will be a little green on the card.
The picture we did use will be in the profile picture during the Holidays for all to see. Hope you all have better luck getting your Christmas pictures. Mountain girl, Paula, logging off.

Elk in the Area!

You have to like wildlife cams. I didn't believe this when I first received it from Rich Pantalone, because the date on the picture says 2000. But it turns out the camera date wasn't set correctly and I was able to verify this is a recent sighting, two weeks ago, with tangible evidence.

Turns out Ron Andrus not only got this picture but more during one day. The elk,WHILE RON WATCHED, shook his head and graciously dropped an antler for Ron. After the Elk moved away Ron looked in the area some more and found the other shed. A complete set! I guess Ron is carrying them everywhere with him showing them off, I would too! Eventually I will catch up with him and get some first hand pictures.
This Elk's picture was taken in the Pigeon Hill/Leetonia Rd area. So keep your eyes open for an antlerless elk roaming the hills. Hopefully, it will be the first of many. Mountain girl, Paula, logging out.
