Trailcams 1-31-16

Several weeks of accumulation - I've tried to whittle it down from the 100's on the cards.  Many good bucks still around and not too many have shed yet.











 This camera was on a stake that fell over.  It still managed to capture some nice images.



 The mutant is still alive.


 Puddy-cat.







 Nice one beside the tree trunk






 Mutant in background?



 Only one coyote on camera

Off to Visit Mickey!

 Joan and I assisted with childcare for our grandchildren (Lucy and Charlie) while daughter Amy attended the NAVC in Orlando.
 Joan enjoys visiting the show floor to see the latest products in the veterinary world.
After 4 days at the conference, we all moved over to Disneyworld.
It was quite a visit.
The weather did turn chilly but we bundled up.
 We had a rendezvous with other family members for one of the days in the park.
We had able assistance by another family member who is a Disney employee.
 The crane was taking the Christmas lights off of the castle.
 Many encounters with different characters.
Green men, parades, fireworks, boats, trains, etc.
Playgrounds, shows, rides, animals, etc.
Cousins.
Chef Mickey's breakfast.

 Alice in Wonderland.
 After three days in the park, Joan and I left to visit Joan's sister.  The kids stayed for another day and were planning to return home to VA on Saturday.
 We made a quick visit to Leo and Kristen's Florida ranch.
There was a work detail in progress and I managed to avoid participating.
The plans to return to VA on Saturday were spoiled by winter storm Jonas.  This photo was taken about 1/2 way thru the storm by cousin Sam who was house-sitting.  Travel rebooked to Monday so a big group descended on Aunt Karen and Uncle Bob for emergency storm avoidance/accommodation.
