Eye Candy Stroll

 While sitting on the deck with my morning coffee a few days back,  I was distracted when a crow circled overhead.

I watched to see where he'd land, and there, among the potatoes and the pumpkins sat a Bald Eagle. 

A deer had been hit on the highway and the scent of fresh meat drew them in for breakfast.  I had almost hoped that the deer had not been dragged to the edge of the field, just so I could watch the meat-eaters feast on the carcass.  It would have been an oppertune  time to set up a trail camera.  I may even had captured photos of bear, bobcat, coyote, wolves, the cougar and the eagles and crows.  

The crow had landed on this branch full of spruce cones, but I was not quick enough to get the perfect shot.

 A walk around the yard and my senses were filled with color.

The first was a last Colombine hiding under the leaves of a shrub.

 Around the corner of the house, a busy Cottontail was munching on his breakfast of clover leaves, as fast as he could nibble. 

 Reed Canarygrass sways next to the driveway~

 as well as the bells of the spiked flower of Ladybells. 

 The Black-capped Chickadees are so busy right now,

playing their part as ' seed savers.'  

 Young lads are measuring up to~

the length of a single Reed Canarygrass~~~~~~~~
and they are surprised to see they tower far above them.

 A forgotten and unknown pink rose was found between the white climbers...it was a sweetly scented surprise. 

 Before my walk around the yard had ended for the day,

a blue dragonfly settled on the garden hook ' just long enough '

to have it's photo taken....just for you.

Life IS as great as GOD.
