Trail Camera
« on: August 25, 2024, 11:06:25 PM »
A new post on my blog. Not really about hiking as it's just outside of my home.

I like hiking, running, kayaking, biking, sailing, geocaching...naked of course!

Ahh, a nightly visit by a curious silver fox!

That's interesting, JMF
Were you in complete darkness when the pictures were taken?
I have a wildlife auto camera which I use in my garden sometimes.  I rarely get true wildlife.  Usually local cats prowling by night!

Wildlife! This ain't Tortolita in the city. Yea, just stray cats and the one that I have been feeding keeps the rest away, generally. He takes care of the tiny gray mice. The occasional hawks and owl stay high up on a branch on the eucalyptus "Ida." I'd just get pics of their big white droppings and their table scraps falling.

No deer, bobcats, mountain lions, javalina, packrats, foot and a half long lizards, AT ALL.

Yes, for the animal photos and some of mine, it was in complete darkness. The second series of mine was taken at the end of the day when the darkness begins.

My neighbor, an eldeerly, handicapped single man, let another neighbor install a camera at his property. This is one that scans and zooms, more of a security camera than wildlife. The camera might be using a WIFI signal from his mother's place, otherwise I don't know how it's connected to the web. My neighbor, whose home it is located, has no ability to see the feed. This seems to be the definition of a spy camera.
Anyway, as I am often over there to swim and socialize and usually clothesfree, he gets to 'witness' whatever happens to be going on there. He uses the camera to know if my neighbor is home so he can stop by for a visit, but also because he is concerned that my neighbor could get into trouble and need help with no way to summon it. I do not make a big deal out of my clothesfree proclivities and I have express permission to be there regardless of how I chose to dress. But I have an attitude about the camera. Obviously it was installed for the behalf of the neighbor whose home it surveys. But if he allows it, then that is his choice. I can certainly dress before visiting him if I don't want to be on the camera nude. That's not what bothers me. Maybe he feels that installing and monitoring the camera would encourage me to put some clothes on. It's not working.

It really doesn't matter.   If we choose to go anywhere naked today, someone is going to take pictures of us.  If not today, then tomorrow.  If anyone else asks if that was you, the answer is "yes it's me, so what?"  We are proud to be humans without shame or guilt.   Hiding our nudity teaches ourselves that nudity is somehow shameful.
