June 30 Visitors

The first visitor I saw was when I was walking on the path to the east of the cabin.  I’m heading one way and this big ol’ painted turtle was coming the other way.  I thought it was pretty cool that it was using the path too.  I think it was heading back to the pond.

Besides the birds, squirrels and chipmunks that are around here most of the day, we had a visit from a small bear last night.  While it was cleaning out the bird feeder, a deer came by to have a little evening snack.  She didn’t see the bear right away, but took off like a flash when it moved in her direction.  This blurry picture is taken from inside.

Crazy about these pictures. I always am and I wish I would find another way to say it. They are terrific and I love your narrative.

Cindy, I just loved these pictures! I think the 3rd and 4th pics are my favorites - mainly because I love being able to see your pond. I know I've said it before but I'm so jealous of all the green grass and trees you have. *sigh* It looks like that turtle is carrying a leaf or something in his mouth. Or is that just my eyes playing a trick on me? Lastly ... that "Cinnabar-red Chantarelle Mushroom" is awesome looking! Never seen one of those.
