September 22, 2021. First day of fall. What a beautiful morning!
I watched several whitetail does walking along the fence line, slowly coming up from the woods below. A few moments later, I saw a solitary deer in the field, walking up from the woods.
I got the binoculars so I could better see.
It was a magnificent buck cautiously following them. The last thing I would ever do is shoot and kill any of those lovely animals. I know my attitude is pretty much not accepted where my husband and I have been privileged to live in this beautiful valley for 41 years.
So be it, I don't care. I love and admire God's creatures for their living beauty.
