Foto Friday 11 ~ Oh Deer Me

 


My son Michael sent some critter photos that he has taken recently around his place. 






Outsmarted by a raccoon!



Sometimes in the chaos of life, we overlook the simple things, the store door held open, the thank you, and have a good day from the checkers, the person who lets us cut in line if we only have one item.  A grandbaby's hug, a text from an old friend...there is always something to be thankful for. 

I wish you all a happy holiday and/or a Merry Christmas. 
Just for the week, may we all be able to leave the stresses of our world outside our doors.

my stress lives within the home no way to get away from it. but I am thankful for little things, and find that there are many out there who respond to a smile, and others who do small things like hand a plant to an old lady pumping gas at Walmart

the deer are so beautiful and i count them as something to be thankful for. the one with ground fog is stunning. I feel like I am there. adorable dogs treeing the coon. glad the coon was not a pregnant female like the one that attacked our Jake, it was a nasty fight.

The deer are such an amazing and special animal. I saw three of them the other day on the edge of the woods trying to cross the other side on a busy highway. The raccoon photos are delightful. I love the deer photo with the fog in the distance, so pretty. Merry Christmas!

Thank your son for me, he took great photos. I wonder how long it took for the raccoon to get out of there? I often see hollow trees and wonder if any critters are in there. Love those kindnesses you mentioned, a little appreciation goes a long way. Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to you all.

Beautiful photos, but my favorite is the capture of the little raccoon in the tree... This looks like a great one to be framed. Happy Sunday...
