Fox, Coyote, Morels, and More!

Finally I caught a coyote on the Truth Cam.  
Years ago before I had a digital camera, I would sneak off into the field, usually crawling in the tall grass, to take photos of the fox families that lived there. 

The first three pictures are copies of the photos I took long ago.  I came across this little guy just walking in the woods, he came up quite close to me.



Then the coyotes moved in and we didn't see much of the fox.
With the Truth Cam these last 10 months, I've gotten lots of shots with fox in the picture, but no coyote.  Just once there was one blurred shot of what looked like a fox flying through the air and the backside of a coyote. These pics are a little bit better, at least I can tell it is a coyote.

It really is amazing what lives here in our woods.  Here are a few more animals I've caught in the last few months.

People often think when we are out wildflowering that we are looking for morel mushrooms, rarely do we see morels.  Mike mowed the lawn for the first time this year on Saturday and he kept coming in bringing me morels that were growing right there in the lawn. 
We have never eaten morels.  Growing up I ate plenty of stump mushrooms.  I looked up the best way to cook morels, and Mike put a steak on the grill.  Here are some shots of the morels.






They were good but the slugs I cleaned off them sort of turned my stomach.


So many adventures (I'm NOT complaining), so many posts to create, so little time!  I find I get more done if I stay away from this computer! 
Real life, not virtual life - right?    :)
