Sometimes Nature Comes to You

[bugeyedriver]

We are so fortunate the have trailers that help us get outside to see spectacular views and critters.  But, occasionally, no trailer is required and nature comes to us to show its wonders.  Bosker and I were inside, reading a good book when we heard a soft noise at the front door.  Thinking it might have been a package drop off, I went to the door and opened the top half of my dutch door and found this newborn fawn hunkered down in the corner.   Momma deer often find a safe place where their baby fawn can hide with its natural coloring or someplace hidden away from the eyes of predators, such as at Bosker's front door. Momma will sleep nearby or go out foraging until coming back to retrieve "Bambi".  Nature is awesome.  Show us your best wildlife photographs you've taken while traveling or at home.

This little one was in my yard. I think he wanted to come in, it was so cold out!

We had this guy camped out in front of our front door a while back.  They basically live in our yard.

That is amazing! We had an outdoor cat, so all we'd find at our front door are dead birds, chipmunks, and rabbits...

 

This Screech Owl tested out our old house, but didn't stay.

At our backyard feeder

 

We've had Green Herons nesting in a Linden tree for several years. These four fledglings were enjoying a day in the sun.

 

One of a zillion photos from our western travels.

That's one way to keep burglars away.

They hung around for a few days feasting on the crab apple trees and creek bed . Kinda hard on the dog walks. Last week, I opened the front door at 9PM and looked up at mama three feet way. Sorry no pics....had to do laundry.

The neighbors like to shortcut thru the yard when I am away
