Fauna

I shot these photos in a short period down at the inlet yesterday mid-morning with the exception of the deer which I caught behind the house at the edge of the orchard in the afternoon. We're seeing more deer lately. I'll have to protect my precious tomato plants this year as deer like the fruit as well as the plant itself. I read that a mixture of one raw egg well stirred into a gallon of water then sprayed on the plants should do the trick. The protein is the deterrent. We'll see...

Each Morning a Gift

Often, as a musician, I would make dinner for my wife then head off to work coming back in time to make her a good breakfast and then to bed.  I much prefer waking just before morning, making the short trip down to the inlet to greet each new sunrise and get a good idea of what is in store for the day, not to mention that it is a likely time to catch fish.
