Catch & Timber

Photography Now & Then #95

As I mentioned yesterday, we have a problem with squirrels and I ordered a “catch and release” trap to, hopefully, deal with the problem. I set it out yesterday afternoon and, when I checked it this morning, it was empty.  I had moved it onto the porch as heavy rain was forecast and, when I was at the gym, I got a text from Karen that squirrels were eating sunflower seed bait in the area where I had originally set the trap.  By the middle of the afternoon, we had our first catch.  After supper, I took it to a more rural area several miles north of here and released it into the forest.

In early December, 2007, between visits with my mom in a Norfolk hospital, we took the time for a walk or two along the shore of Chesapeake Bay.
