Today I’m posting a 38 second video of a doe and a fawn that have been hanging around my yard here in the mountains of North Carolina. One of the good things that has come out of this pandemic and sheltering in place is that I have been more aware of nature’s awesome beauty around me. I love where I live, and I feel grateful every day.
It is easy to think that what happens to us as humans is the most important thing. But in the natural world, things continue on as they always have. Or appear to, anyway. I find this reassuring.
What about you? What have you seen lately that reminds you of nature’s awesomeness? (If you are seeing this on my Facebook author page, feel free to post a photo of something in your yard or a place you’ve been.)
Have a good week! Stay safe. Be kind.
Love,
Susan

They are so graceful and elegant, and their walking appears to be in slow motion as they carefully place each long, thin leg before putting their weight on it. Well, they have eaten all my beautiful hostas at our house, because we have not been there to spray on a repellent, but still, I love them dearly!
Graceful and elegant is what they are, Helen. I know what you mean about them eating your plants, though. Thanks so much for being in touch. 🙂 xo
