Varmit report, new camera, Dead Zone
Jun. 28th, 2006 04:20 amI think I may have said that Cutiepie has brought her babies by? I think it was about two weeks ago or so. We've only seen two babies. Well, Mom has seen them; I saw two fast moving grey blobs as I opened the door to give her some food. These guys are pretty shy. Cutiepie just looked at them racing for the elm tree with a slightly embarrassed expression. "Yes, they have no manners, but I'm still here!"
There are two sets of four litters of skunks. The maternal instinct isn't that strong and I've seen babies wandering around on there own, and today on mom had six babies with her. And for the first time, I saw a mom skunk notice her young. She had walked out from beneath a tree that has a lot of foliage under it and the young followed, more or less. She went up to two that had gone the wrong direction, grabbed them by the scruff, gave them a sharp shake and tossed them in the right direction. It seemed a tad harsh but the little guys simply took the direction without complaint. I've yet to get any good photos recently.
Speaking of which, my camera is giving me a hard time and I've bought a new one on ebay.
It's a Canon PowerShot S3 IS and I bought a two gig SD card with it. I need to play with this because it will be coming with me on the cruise. It has an image stabilizer to compensate for blurriness from breathing and such. http://www.steves-digicams.com/2006_reviews/s3is.html
And for the Dead Zone, I was really irritated by the opening scene, but was won over by the who dunit type plot. Johnny's relationship with Bruce seemed strained and sometimes the show seemed forced but at least it was a much better ep than last week's.
