I have many sunset shots but keep coming back to look at this one a lot. Sawbill Lake 2010. Camp is all squared away, food pack is hung, we've talked and joked around the fire after a travel day from Cherokee Lake, we'd seen a huge moose on Cherokee Creek, loon music is active tonight, my last act of the day was to take this shot and hit the sack. Very good memories.

No, he didn't move much but was still alive. Not sure how long he was in the trap as I set it the prior evening. Usually they will try to get away. Was probably on the porch trying to catch the same mouse I was!!

When they are that close to the house they go to a place its always warm, and there's lots of slow mice! Rattlesnake heaven. When they are not in the area of the yard, I just stay out of there way!! Plus, I've never had that happen before so I didn't have a "safe way" to get the snake out of the trap.

breakfast sandwich at Nanibijou $8.95. there is fresh spinach, tomato, cheddar cheese, egg, and BACON on a toasted English muffin.
the fresh fruit tasted like the middle of summer. I paired this fine meal with a steaming cup of mint tea. while we were eating, the server brought out food to the table next to us and it was HUGE cinnamon roll the size of a dinner plate! there was much laughter at the size, but no offer to share :(

This is me in the bow as we leave Brule Bay heading west early in the morning. We were concerned how Brule would behave for us and, as you can see, we got lucky. One of my new favorite BW pics.
