I took some photos yesterday afternoon, from 'webcam' window. The folks across the street from us lost a branch that's maybe three or four inches in diameter.

Well, That's Odd: Webcam is Back Online

This webcam was offline for - several hours, most likely - today.

It's back, though: showing the end of a gray October day here in central Minnesota.

Getting Ready for Winter

I took the hummingbird feeder in yesterday afternoon. It's long past the time when they're supposed to be headed for points south.

Last winter there wasn't much interest in the food block I set out: so that may or may not happen again this winter.

Meanwhile, there are vehicles, people, yards and sky to see.

Technical Difficulties: Again; Still

Ustream dropped the live feed somewhere in the last few hours. My monitor page looks okay, and indicates that all's well - but the video's not getting out.

Sorry about that - I haven't been in a position to do frequent checks today. The webcam should be back online in 20 minutes or so, based on previous experience.
