On Wednesday, with the aid of good, strong light, I managed to stitch over one "weep to see you..." and yes, the frog visited me while I stitched.
I still have "hasten away so soon" to stitch - probably two more sessions will be needed to do it.
What else could I name this year-old buck, but Spike?!
He is not very big at all...
..not nearly as large as a mature doe.
Nonetheless he was the alpha of the group of three which included a doe and fawn. They gave him wide berth.
I think he looks rather sweet. That big brown eye-thing going on.
Lots and lots of quail the last few days.
They stick pretty close to the thicket for safety's sake.
You can see that the guys are a prettier blue-gray than the gal on the right.
This poor gal had three males trailing her. Can you image what her life will be like come spring?
With cold, foggy mornings, everyone puffs up.
Well done! Thank you for sharing lovely pictures.
ReplyDeleteLove your stitches ~ but your lovely nature pics take the cake! You are blessed to see such sights everyday!
ReplyDeleteLove your photos. That Spike is one handsome fellow. I can't resist teasing you, though, about your typo after the second quail picture - or have you actually taught them to cross stitch with you?!
ReplyDeleteSweet stitches...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos..

Spike is so handsome- the big browns definitely have it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I was just going to say the quails look puffier than usual. Wearing their puffer coats! Gorgeous colours!
ReplyDeleteSpike and his doe-eyed charm? He's a handsome fella.
Bummer about frogging. Love the youngling though. And the puffed up quail. :D
