Hey, Let’s Talk Turkey!
Turkey Trail Camera, South Carolina
This little gal has a cute backstep after eating. Eat, peck, kick, repeat, eat, peck, kick, repeat. Who knew a turkey had a rhythm when eating? Aside from that did you know that turkeys can see better than humans? They can see in color and their eyesight covers 270 degrees.
For more fun facts about turkeys click here on the World Animal Protection website.
Enjoy the trail camera videos. 🥰

Trail Camera Bear Videos, S.C.
Hey Friends!
Some adorable black bears recently stopped by our cabin. We decided to keep our trail camera active for 3 months before changing the chip. And boy, did we capture some wildlife shenanigans! Kurt and I meticulously reviewed hours of trail camera footage and picked some of the best to share. Enjoy!
Much Love,
Debra & Kurt Roinestad

Blog Note: Cats- New Gallery Section
Oh my goodness, it’s been so busy here. The rain storms have knocked the internet out a few times this week here in the mountains of South Carolina. In the meantime, I have been busy gathering images to share with everyone. Also, I am trying out a new plug-in on the blog site called Visual Portfolio for a photo gallery.
On occasion, I’ll be adding a few pictures of my Ocicats, Anna and Alexander under the ‘Cabin Cats’ section. Plus, other mountain and nature photos under the ‘Nature’ section.
Creating and running a blog site takes a lot of work but is fun and rewarding. Plus, I love connecting with so many of you! 😊
I feel that sometimes pictures speak louder than words.
Anyhoo, I hope you like it.
Warm Regards,
Debra Roinestad 🌿
