I was blessed with many photo ops on Earth Day.
We were almost late for church because I had to stop and capture these beautiful purple wildflowers growing in the woods next to my mom’s yard.
I couldn’t wait till church was out so I could rush back and photograph her purple and pink clematis.
My son’s friend caught a 6 pound catfish in the pond behind my house.
And I finally got to see a couple of my deer friends that move through my woods and backyard every evening.

WOW! These flowers fascinated me… what a beautiful colours…. and amazing fish! he seems so lucky about fishing… And lovely deers…. how looking to you… They are so lovely, Thank you dear Sheila, have a nice day, with my love, nia
Appreciate the compliments, Nia. The deer just stared at me as I walked toward them. About half way I was afraid I would spook them. Had to use my zoom, so not as crisp and clear as I hoped I would get. Every year, we have a large herd visit my backyard, and every year I try for the perfect shot. I love trying. They are shedding their winter coat so they look a little scruffy right now.
Dear Sheila, this is so beautiful I mean they visit your backyard… I don’t have any experience with them… How I wished… But I should say Thank you once again because you introduce me with them and also you share such a wonderful moments through your photographs as I was there with you too… But I know, I heard about their shedding time… Have a nice day dear Sheila, with my love, nia
Yes, Nia. They travel through every morning and evening; sometimes I am lucky to be there at the right time to snap a photo.Thanks for the compliment.
Wonderful post as always. I love your photos and story behind them. Great share!
I appreciate your comments. Thanks so much.
God does great wonders doesn’t He?
Amen to that!
What colors. I wished we had flowers like that growing wild. Believe it or not Hawaii is full of greenery but not much wild flowers.
I do remember the lush shades of green from my visit there. Thanks, Karen, for visiting with me again. 🙂
How lucky you are to have the deer so near, you take beautiful photos.
Even luckier when they pose for me. Thanks for the compliment.
I’m hoping your son practices catch & release.
Oh, no, we are river rats, born and bred. We throw back the little ones. This one will fillet out nicely and feed a family of four! He’s trying to catch enough for a big fish fry on his birthday.
My friends used to always take me fishing because I didn’t fish. Thus I made a good person to go to the store for chips, salsa, and beer. lol
