His Frosty Kingdom

We spotted this buck about 100 yards away, and I stopped the car to snap this photo. It’s that time of year when the frost blankets the freshly harvested fields, and the deer are thinking about the next generation.

It is getting cold .. and the frost is back. I guess winter is on the way.

Bug Digger

If you watch a White-breasted Nuthatch you will almost certainly see them picking at the trees to find insects for dinner. It's fun to watch.

His Statue Pose

it has been a while since we photographed a Great Blue Heron. I saw this one flying a few minute before we found him at this pond. I love it.
