Mortimore This is Mortimore; we call him Morti. I am tempted to say he knows his name, but that is not true. He does however, know that if he comes to the back door, at Kate’s office, she will get up and feed him. Morti steps aside, not too far away, until Kate scatters some…
A Deer and a Friend Look who came for a visit! One deer came first, and then its friend showed up. They both explored the yard, oblivious to my presence; I did try to stay out of their way and watched them play, from a distance. Yes, I am sharing these pictures with you, because…
The Florida Brown Pelican I do not believe we are being “imprisoned”; but I do understand and can relate to our desire to be free again. For me it is not just the freedom to leave my house and hit the road; but I long to be free of this unseen virus, which is so…

The Space Deer He is not really a deer from space; rather he is the deer I saw while I was trying to take this picture: Of all of the places in the world, one might expect to encounter wildlife, I cannot say the Johnson Space Center, Houston, Texas, even remotely made my…
Sharing the Back Stoop This sweet little orange cat began coming around the house, looking for food; so we of course bought him cat food, how could we not. I do not know if he is a stray or simply someone’s pet that likes to go explore. Apparently, word got out in the world of…
