Deer-Mama Deer

Der-Mama Deer. A doe was wondering around my rose garden in the early morning hours when I captured this image. The deer love munching on the new growth on the rose bushes. I have to keep the bushes sprayed with a horrible smelling solution (smells like rotten, garlicky eggs) to keep them away. The deer are not destructive, they are very careful to just nip off the new growth. I really wouldn't mind the nibbling if I could still have the rose blooms. They are beautiful animals.

Deer-Waiting for Mom

Deer-Waiting for Mom. She told me to stay here, out of sight until she returned from a run-This little fawn looks a little sad to be left behind. I was watching mom and this little one slowly grazing through out back yard. They stopped for awhile and I watched as mom scoped out the area. They moved closer to this tree, then I saw mom nudge the fawn. It curled up in this nook in the tree trunk and mom to off. Curious, I went out to check out the fawn. It did not move, just followed me with it's eyes. Of course I had to snap some photos of it, curled up, waiting patiently for mom to come back. When I went back to the house, periodically checking on the fawn. About a hafl hour later I spotted the mom back in the yard with her baby for a little more grazing and than they just took off. I never saw them again.

COPE'S TREE FROG-SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND

COPE’S TREE FROG-SAY HELLO TO MY LITTLE FRIEND This little guy I must say does not learn from his actions. Two consectutive days, we found this little guy in our pool’s skimmer basket with the chlorine tablets. We move him away from the pool area but he came back a second time. This if the first time we have seen this species of frog around our house and we have lived here for 34 years. It is whiteish in color, lots of warts and has a cute star on it’s back. We have been hearing a different creature call at night, we thought it was a frog but it did not sound like the normal serenade. So, after I saw this little guy, I googled him, found out who he was and what type of noise he makes. Now our mystery is solved, it was him and his crew out there, They sure are noisy for their tiny size of two inches.
