🌿MFW...I have just returned from a trip down to the Walmart in town for socks, a 20x20x1 vent filter, some dot 4 brake fluid, and 30 minutes of wandering through what I assume Hell looks like...

Had so much fun at the Bay Balloon Festival in Bay Harbor, Michigan this year! 🎈✨ The balloons, the colors, and the atmosphere were amazing.

Yep. I went there. I put three resting Mule Deer fawns surrounded by winter grasses and sapling trees in black and white! OMG. Look at the ears at that one facing the camera!

Luine: Is tree on fire
Me: No, why-- ?
Luine: Then Luine will by by fire. Ignore stupid tree.

Maybe this is why she totally ignores boxes too?

Today, I was watching a flock of Roseate spoonbills preen and rest by the lake when they suddenly took to the sky. They did a circle around the lake, then came back down. A beautiful sight!

The viewer is looking through a the dark silhouettes of tall grasses at the yellow, orange, peach, pink and with a trace of blue sky beyond. Across the bottom is dark trees in the distance, and two strands of barbed wire is visible across the bottom also. The tips of an eastern red cedar is in the top left corner and downward. Part of a leafless hackberry tree is visible on the top right corner and downward.

This White Tailed Deer seems to have gotten its antlers caught up in some rope. Luckily it seems to be OK, because rut is still on!
