I’ve been looking for something to show you besides the bleakness of winter. I decided to put a call into Mother Nature for some help. She obliged with a showing of beauty I hadn’t seen in a long while. First, I came upon a herd of deer. They were out enjoying a bit to eat. They seemed eager to show off their little heads, long and slender bodies, and white fluffy tails. Such beautiful creatures are the deer. Always lurking in the shadows. Always watching. Then I came upon a bird. He was a big ole bird. I saw him sitting next to a frozen pond. He didn’t seem to move and I began to wonder if he was real or not. To be honest, I am still not sure. As I was nearing home, I came upon a frozen pond situated next to a beautiful field in which one solitary tree called home. Even on the coldest week of winter, warmth shines through.
Visit my store. Visit my galleries.
Always watching
Hello there.
Always in the shadows.
Are you for real?
Frozen
Where is everyone?
Care for a skate?

Deer are lovely, but what really grabbed me was the heron between the trees. In my experience even more elusive than deer, but your one looked relaxed. The last photo, sunrise – is that real, it looks like an overworked Photoshop?
Thanks. The one of the pound? If so yes. But they are all real.
I’m enjoying all your cold weather photos from the warmth of my house. 🙂
Thanks John. 🙂 Fire?
Well – to be honest, I like your bleakness of winter shots.
But deer almost always work …
Thanks. 🙂 I’ll take it.
I’m jealous…I can’t get close enough to a Heron even if my life depended on it lol. Wonderful shots of the wildlife and nature 🙂
Thanks so much. Yes, it was oddly still.
I love deer they are so beautiful when you see them. It is nice to see a picture of them enjoying themselves. Your other pictures are beautiful also.
Thanks Kathryn.
