camera-trapping part two

One of the lessons of trail cameras is that if spots aren't chosen well, you may end up with 900 pictures of wind and grass. I have found a few places to set the camera that don't trigger obsessively and are traveled by animals. While our imaginations occasionally let us see bears and cougars in every shadow, I'm beginning to learn that while there aren't animals everywhere, if you wait long enough you may be surprised with what you see. These pictures were taken over a period of months.
