Digging Gopher Tortoise

Had to chase her with the camera, but she eventually decided to dig in to get away from the dogs and me:

I noticed this gopher because the dogs kept yipping and running over to where she was. She eventually crawled off into the underbrush and went under, as you can see.

The pictures were taken with a wireless Ethernet camera, recorded by software run out of crontab every minute. The recording ends when it started to rain and I took the camera in.

Swamp Still Full, Dog Ecstatic

Fay filled the swamp, but it’s been a week now, so time to check. Why yes, the swamp is still full, and the dog is ecstatic?

How do you tell when a 100 pound Rotweiller is ecstatic? When she turns into an alligator.

The water is down a couple of inches as you can see by the watermarks, but it’s still pretty full.
