white tail deer with new fawn
Today , our 16th anniversary, I woke at 6am, looked out the window and saw fog in the wetlands. I quickly dressed, grabbed both cameras and took off for the wetlands. It was like a magical world, covered in spider webs that looked thousands of lace doilies. A slight breeze made them look like they were swaying in the wind. I looked straight ahead on the boardwalk and there in the fog was the beautiful doe that I had seen the night before and as I had suspected she had a tiny fawn with her. We watched each other for about 10 min. She had no way of knowing that I would never hurt her baby. The birds were singing their morning tunes and the Pilated Woodpecker screeched overhead
as he flew over me in the fog covered skies. A sparrow chirped and tried to coax me away from her nest that I already knew was in the logs by the boardwalk. Everywhere I looked , from the grass to the very tops of the trees , was covered in the beautiful spider webs , some covered with droplets of rain. I heard a lone crow that reminded me of the visit I had from the crows, the day Mom died. The two hours I spent in the wetlands was overwhelmingly happy. I thought that maybe this is what heaven would look like for me and hoped I would have a camera. Then I remembered I wouldn't need one because it would always look this way for me. I thought of how blessed I am that I met a man that loves me for who I am. That he bought this humble piece of land instead of a fancy lake home. That he will never want a fancy place. We are both blessed to have come from humble beginnings and can be satisfied with a simpler, non extravagant life. If you have taken the time to read my thoughts of this wonderful, beautiful God given morning, you will have a look at two of my favorite pictures from this morning. God Bless you all.

Iris
HOPE BLOOMS
About 10 years ago my cousin, from Georgia, gave me an Iris tuber that had belonged to her deceased sister. It wouldn't grow in Georgia and she thought maybe it would grow in North Dakota. It was very small, no larger than 2 inches and had a worm hole. It was mid October when it arrived and the ground was already frozen. I dug a shallow hole for it and didn't plan on seeing it again. Three years later it bloomed for the first time and has bloomed every other year since. I call it Hope because it had nothing else.
