"Posts" will appear in chronological order but that's just how a blog is set up to work. I can "label" (categorize) posts by a name or topic and that is how I see the blog being used. To find categories, look at the menu (File Cabinet) on the right. So for example if you want to see posts related to "Buck", then click on that and see them. At any time, you can click at the top of the page and go back "home". If you are in a label/category and get to the bottom of the page, look for "Older Posts" and you can continue until there are no more posts for that category.
Sawyers Landing
Welcome to Sawyers Landing. My goal is to share things I see from our backyard and neighboring woods and trails.

Some amazing coyote pictures from my neighbor
My neighbor Brian likes to move his trail camera around in the woods and certainly goes deeper than I do. I'd love to do that but I'm not going to be the one bringing ticks in the house and it's not as convenient. I do feel I get good images on the "highway" on the edge of the woods but look at these pics he sent me from April. If you check the time, it was captured in about a 15-minute window...

Coyote Turning Head to Look Back
There was a time I was excited for a blurry image of a coyote. Now that I'm sure they live very close to us, I'm looking for clear photos. Here is a good profile...

Playing around with Jacob's camera
Jacob let me borrow his nice camera for a car event and I still have it. Not much going on in the yard or woods to capture.
Yesterday I captured this Northern Flicker and today got this fox squirrel. Not terribly interesting but I like the quality of the photos so posting them here...

The Coyote Trio / "White-Tailed" Deer and Turkey Crossing
Excited to capture my first image of 3 coyotes in the same frame.
Snow
January 2024 will be a memorable month for the Des Moines area. We had roughly 27 inches of snow in the month...about 18 inches more than normal. And most of it fell with about a 3-day span (Jan 8-11).
January 8 was nearly a foot of snow and then we got an actual blizzard starting on January 11. Below are some images of those events and you know I had to make trails for Kyanne. Yes, part of it is fun to do but with actual temps below zero, it was necessary. If it wasn't enough to have the snow, the gut punch were the temps and wind chills.
