Everyone came out of hiding.
There was, after all, no wind here. And the sun came out. It's hot but it almost feels like a normal July day. A little flooding in town but just humidity here on this hill. Not as much rain as expected. But now, the smoke from the Canadian fires is moving back in. I can smell it already.
You have to look carefully but he is parked in the deep shade up against the stone wall. It's cooler there. He's been there for at least an hour. Looking back. Maybe that is a regular thing and I just didn't notice. This time, because I was watching, I saw him lay down.
Yesterday's nine. I like how the scale difference has changed the form. The circle was transformed into squares once again, Two squares. But there is spin. And everything is revolving around love. Like the center of the universe. A new order.
This one done paperless piecing style. In MoonFlower Format.
Saw a mama and two babies, still with their spots, the other day. So sweet but worrisome as they were grazing along side a fairly busy road. I love the colors of this moonflower…happy colors.
A buck showed up for me here a while ago. I wondered the same, is he always out there and i just dont see him?
Seeing your little cloth pieces made me miss my work on cloth which always falls away in the summer/ garden season. I feel a pull to pick it up again.
Thank you for that.
I can somehow stitch at least 9 scraps together each day. It is a rewarding habit. Nine du jour.
Goodness, but he’s beautiful, and smart, finding a shady spot to relax and keep an eye on any activity going on. I wonder if he’s always alone.
I see him with others but less often
Love that you have wildlife!
The best!
We have rabbits to gaze with every evening. Really like the round fullness of this nine.
Oddly no rabbits here.
I think they swelled in the humidity
“And everything is revolving around love.” Very lively!
May it be so.
We can hope.
So relieved that you made it through all that rain. Your backyard buck is a gorgeous specimen. He is so trusting of you, and looks comfortable in his shelter.
I really was worried about wind, the ground is so saturated. The new deer family here is very calm.
that Gaze….is a language
Kept going back to look.
yes. it’s late and i am looking again….a Beauty FULL photograph
of the exchange….Their willingness to live in peace.
and the art of blending in.
how creatures just carry on… the wind blows. the rain falls. the sun shines again. on they go…
We are the same, unless we give up.
Wonderful healthy looking guy; antlers still in velvet. I enjoy your wildlife
Love that fuzzy rack.
So adorable .. took me awhile to spot him .
Such beautiful creatures .
All the very best Jude 🥰🌷
All is beautiful in its natural context.
That look of his “I know you”, so majestic, how wonderful he is.
He is healthy and gentle. Just sits there watching me in the garden.
You are chosen, when that happens. Reminds us to be gentle, perhaps with hearts…
He is always here these days and he is quite friendly. Drinks from the bird bath.
Wonderful, spinning around love!
Love when other species are nearby.
So nice to have wild visitors
A nice cool spot for him to rest 💙
Still wet there.
Sightings are such a sweet gift. I feel chosen when one happens!
Yes, always stops me in my tracks.
