Nature's Stream

Come sit with me beside nature's stream, no need for words, we can simply dream. Nature has given us a place, in which to reflect, only asking in return for our respect.

Crouching Photographer Hidden Fawn

Whitetail deer fawns are normally born sometime between late April and early July. At birth, white tail fawns have a spotted coat. The spots are to camouflage the fawn, allowing it to blend in with it's surrounding  environment. The whitetail fawn loses its spots by the end of October of the same year it was born, or within 3 to 4 months after birth. The fawn is also weaned by the time it loses its spots. By November the average whitetail male fawn will weigh close to 80 to 85 pounds, and the female fawn will weigh 75 to 80 pounds. When a fawn is born it is odorless so that predators are not attracted to its location. The mother doe will stay away from the fawn for a few days so that her scent does not rub off on the fawn or attract predators to the area where the fawn is hiding, while gaining strength. When a fawn detects danger it will remain perfectly still. Fawns that live past the first week have a good chance of surviving to adulthood. A doe and her fawns live as a family group until the fawns are weaned. Sometimes multiple does and whitetail fawns will group together. The area where the fawn is born normally becomes its adult habitat.

Vantage Point From Afar

The vantage point from afar gives us the clearest perspective of just how small we are, in comparison to the wide world around us.

Natures Wonders

I am fortunate in that I can step outside my door and have a natural playground of wonders at my disposal to explore. No concrete sidewalks, no hustle and bustle of traffic. Just the serene surroundings of green earth, trees, and the bubbling sounds of sparkling water and the wildlife that inhabits this beautiful place. I never want to be so caught up in the complications of the world that I forget to take the time to enjoy the simple things. The wonders of nature, that which is priceless. We are blessed every day with beauty all around us. It saddens me to know that some of these beautiful natural resources are already being taken for granted, and may in time not exist for future generations to enjoy.
