Frogs in the fall

I like the camouflage that this little guy has going on.  And I added some other photos just to round this post out.

Porcupine up close

 This is a close up of the Porcupine that was in the tree.

Porcupines are rodents with a coat of sharp spines, or quills, that defend and camouflage them from predators. They are indigenous to the Americas, southern Asia, and Africa. Porcupines are the third largest of the rodents, behind the capybara and the beaver. Most porcupines are about 25–36 in (63–91 cm) long, with an 8–10 in (20–25 cm) long tail. Weighing between 12–35 lb (5.4–16 kg), they are rounded, large and slow. Porcupines come in various shades of brown, grey, and the unusual white.

Porcupine in a Tree

We saw porcupine up in this tree having a snack.

Porcupines occupy a short range of habitats in tropical and temperate parts of Asia, Southern Europe, Africa, and North and South America. Porcupines live in forests, deserts, rocky outcrops and hillsides. Some New World porcupines live in trees, but Old World porcupines stay on the rocks. Porcupines can be found on rocky areas up to 3,700 m (12,100 ft) high. Porcupines are generally nocturnal but are occasionally active during daylight.

The deer return

This female deer (Doe) was spotted in the woods near our cabin.  It's a good sign since the wolves had been in there last year we hadn't seen many this summer.

Fall Buck

We spotted this nice buck this weekend in the woods.  He stood so still for the longest time you would have thought it was fake.

Fall Scenery

I took these last year up in Michigan.  I just love the fall colors.

Dragonfly in the fall.

I photographed this Dragonfly last fall when it landed on a leaf.
