A butterfly fluttered by...

You would think that it would be hard to fly with a chunk missing from your wing.

This little fellow seemed to get around just fine.

Baby Cardinal

The cardinals built a nest in the northeast corner of our house. They had two little babies.

Unfortunately, the first one out of the nest did not survive. But this little fellow is doing just fine so far! Looks like he's been fed well, too.


His daddy was none to happy about me taking this picture.

Bug... of some sort

What the heck is on the wall by the computers?

Whatever it is, it doesn't look normal.

Raccoon visit

Raccoon enjoying some birdseed...

Raccoon getting ready to leave....

Raccoon almost gone...


Raccoon gone... FAIL! (note the paws stuck in between the fence slats)

Sunday Afternoon Guests

You just never know who is going to show up on a sunny winter afternoon.

First, a fox.


He ran off because the coyote showed up.

Who knows what'll show up next!

Visitors in the Snow

A few does showed up today at noontime. They were feeding off the remaining berries on our bushes.

There was actually a third, much smaller, deer by the house, eating our evergreens.
