Mama Raccoon

I sometimes feel like I'm living in the middle of the wilderness with all the critters we have passing through our yard. This mama raccoon was walking through our yard, probably in search of food. I don't usually see them during the day but she was pretty bold. Maralee

Return of the Hummers

The hummingbirds have returned!!! I had sporadically seen one or two over the last few weeks but now they're back to stay. Had a couple of hummingbirds fighting at our feeders yesterday afternoon.  I look forward to honing my hummingbird photography skills once again this summer. Maralee

Bambi

Every spring, we have mama deer who bring their babies to our back yard for us to babysit for the day.  This year we have a mama who had 3 babies and they are the cutest darn things.  They are teeny-tiny though and I don't want to go out to our back yard to disturb …

Purple Flower

I'm not sure what flower this is, but I thought it was very pretty. I'm sure someone will be able to identify it for me. Maralee
