Sniff, sniff. Aaah, that sweet summer smell: squirrels and birds, a chipmunk or two, even a few
wandering deer ... and bunnies, big and little! The yard is an abundance of magical odors ... treats
for my nose! When I charge down the stairs from the deck I am overcome with joy! I don't
know whether to turn left or turn right ... who to chase! Usually I head to the shed first, as a
bun-bun or two (sensing my arrival) has taken cover under there. I scope 'em out. I dig a little.
Sigh, it's a safe haven for them. So I back off. Sadly, when I am now over by the bird feeder,
checking out what's fallen to the ground (it's usually tasteless stuff) ... those buns make a
beeline for the fence gate, they scooch under and off and away they go! Fast little fellas. I haven't
caught one yet. Someday I will. (In my dreams!) Aaah, that sweet summer smell ...
excuse me now, while I ... wait, what's that? Sleeping in the grass and twigs! It's a fawn.
OhMyDawg. Is she not the most adorable little thing. I won't go near, I do not want to frighten
her and her mama might be nearby ... Aaah, sniff, sniff. Nature is glorious!

We too race off the deck to try to get those squirrels and rabbits, but they always manage to scurry away.
ReplyDeleteWe love the photo art with the sun beaming down on you. Here we just wish that sun would turn the heat down a bit.
