Today was day six of baby Madeline’s new life. The first two days were not easy for her. She showed no interest in nursing. Her tongue and palate seemed to keep her from sucking milk from her mother. I’ve heard of mothers rejecting their calves, but Madeline seemed to reject her mother. Between us hand-feeding

Tonight, these four Deer were eating in our backyard. We have much more Deer than this daily on our property. But they are very camera shy, and usually, run away when they see us. This time I managed to open the squeaky door to capture this. My lens was set at 300mm. The one looking

Our porch is also frequented by various Wildlife, Synchronous Fireflies, and some of the largest Butterflies.

Here’s more commentary from our porch. Update: The frog made Caliber very sick, and so she was close to taking a trip to the emergency animal hospital. Thankfully she recovered overnight. I was advised this creature is a Cicadas. They are good for the ecological environment.
