Yesterday while strolling through my neighborhood, I discovered these pretty girls. They were nearby, watching me and cautious, but none seemed very frightened.


Deer are beautiful, and seeing them migrate through my neighborhood is a treat. They come around less because new construction blocks many of their habitual corridors, and there’s heavier vehicle traffic.
This year, I see fewer wild birds. After restarting my photography, I’ve been searching for birds. They were my inspiration to go walking yesterday, and luckily, in an hour when birds were active.


Wintery skies also are beautiful and nice captures when framed by trees.

This unusually mild and pleasant winter draws my attention and invites participation. During my current unemployment period, I will go out, often with a camera, and frequently with my animals.
Here’s a reminder about today’s free concert at Whispering Winds, in its main dining room at 2 p.m. Classical pianist Dan Chaiken will be performing, to celebrate his mom’s upcoming 100th birthday. Months ago, I missed an opportunity to hear Dan play, but today, I will be there listening to gorgeous music.
Dear Friends: A major personal win is embracing what makes one happy. Diana
