Then and now

[Hillscreek]

Not much has changed in the cairn hunting style in a couple of centuries and I'd guess even longer. Top pic is late nineteenth century. The other is current.

When you have a style that works there's no need to change it.

Perfect example! How was the photographer able to get the cairns to pose so well?

[Hillscreek]

If mouse or other live goody under the rock cairns will "pose" immediately.

Yeah, they're suddenly too busy to mug for the camera as usual!

Oh man...Fred's itching to kill something.  Just about every night he's hunting moles.

I just hope the rabbits are smart enough to keep out of the fence.

And now the red tails are back more often than previous years.  A young one had some lunch in the yard last week.

My lawn is its own ecosystem.  A microcosm of the cycle of life!
