It’s Only Natural

This doe has been around my house for as long as I have lived here, about 3 years now. When I first started seeing her she had a badly injured front leg. Apparently she has pretty much gotten over it and can move now with barely a limp. I’m glad she has survived her injuries.

These two little guys were hatched just a month or so ago and I believe they are using my clothesline to get the flying thing down pat. I would assume fending for themselves is the next lesson as they both are sitting there waiting to be fed.

Sometimes Mother Nature has a flair for the dramatic. Thunder, lightning, rain, sunshine, blue sky and a couple of very intense rainbows to top it all off.

Those rainbows are beautiful. We had a small one on Sunday, but nothing like that.

Very pretty photos of those double rainbows. You were very lucky to capture the moments so well.

coming from such a beautiful state is a wonderful heritage to look back at and see all of the wonderful things I didn’t get to see as a youngester. I was born in Edwight,WV and raised on coal river , Naoma. What a wonderful area of the coal mines years ago. It is sad to visit because so much is gone, except for the beauty of Nature.
