I guess anybody can get this started? Here's mine for November 2nd, my farewell to my W&C Pal from our town's overlook:

The morning before the deer opener this nice 10 pointer is in full stupid mode. I got out of the truck and took pictures for about a minute before he ran off. 75 yards.

Found this elk shed in the woods today.

Sigh, love this photo. ESPECIALLY since mine no longer resides in our barn. But a leaky old barn where I was constantly removing wasp nests and bird nests was not a fit place for such a lady!

Not as big as Hobbydog's buck, but these little ones were behind the house Friday:

Thank you. I had a new roof put on the pole barn this year to keep this old girl safe.

Have to give my wife credit for this one. She took some pics of the fog and the sunrise this morning:

Ensign lake, may 2016.

I just got back from a 3 week stay at my cabin. Great weather and a good time. On the last night I was outside enjoying the night sky. As I walked by the bird feeder something fluttered over my head and into the bird feeder. I thought it was a bat. Then another flying object seen in the light coming through the cabin landed in the feeder and then went up the tree. I turned on my headlight and looked up the tree. There were several sets of eyes staring down at me. I had never seen a Northern Flying Squirrel before but I figured that must be what I was seeing. I tried to get a couple of pictures but they were a bit shy and getting focus was hard in the dark. I just pulled a chair and watched the nocturnal squirrels flutter around. I can't believe I had not noticed them before.

flying squirrels are so pretty. i know some people think they look like flying rats. are they pretty rare?

now that i've moved and am settling in to life in southern MN i will have to seek out new photo opportunites not right outside my front door!

Caribou WMA is in the heart of the "Aspen Parklands" of NW MN. I think this picture is very descriptive of the parklands.

Another nice shot! As long as we're in a wildlife theme, how about a small animal you don't see up there? Our resident armadillo; he's so ugly he's cute (LOL)!

One of the many abandoned places on the SDprairie.

hobbydog...don't you wonder who made that house a home and for how long and did they have a good life and where are they now....?

Hobbydog and Mocha, two more really nice shots. As for the armadillo, gosh, I don't know what family they're in? But after seeing them for the last 20 years they'd migrated this far north, our latest has dug a few holes and set up housekeeping in our yard. Have a great weekend!

I would love to know the stories these places could tell. This was another one... A long forgotten baseball field near Long Lake SD. I tried to visualize a bunch of kids in the 1950's playing ball here. You know it is on the open prairie when the outhouse has to anchored down. :-)

very beautiful photos jeraldharter! are those north country lakes in fall or lakes from around your home?


leaf frost this morning.

Thanks Mocha. They are photos from Stevens Point, WI where I live.

Those are both really nice Jerold.
