My first BlueSky deer video. They are enjoying spring and added at least two new fawns in our neighborhood. #nature #deer #cervids #whitetails #outside #fun #animals

There’s just something simply beautiful about the innocence of a kitten. #nature #suburbia #photography #amateurphotography #cats #kittens #outside

I love it when they stop and look at me while walking in the neighborhood. #cervids #deer #urbandeer #nature #outdoors #outside #photography #amateurphotography #304 #WV

We are family, but we’re not sure about your dog, mister! Came upon this skiddish group out for a dusk time snack. #nature #cervids #urbandeer #whitetails #deer #WestVirginia #photography #amateurphotography #304 #outside #outdoors

Spring has sprung in W.Va. I wish I knew more about plants. That sort of translates into “should’ve studied more in high biology class.” #flowers #nature #photography #amateurphotography #304

My deer obsession meets my watercolor obsession. This is a work in progress. #watercolor #deer #painting #art #nature #cervids

Sign that spring is coming. Life is short. Stop and acknowledge beauty all around us. #plants #spring #weather #amateurphotography #photography #nature #outside

I’ll call this one the whitetail family reunion. Nine of them! I was in my car and just had to stop and snap it. #cervids #spring #whitetails #deer #photography #amateurphotography #nature #urbandeer #wildlife #304 #wildandwonderful

I came upon 8 white tails this morning. Only captured a few with iPhone. Their ears look smaller than normal because their fur in the fringe of their ears turns black for winter camouflage.

We got a dusting of winter wrath once again this morning. My dog Jake and I came upon this elusive 4-point buck. It was as if he was searching for a mate. He kept sniffing the air as if her scent lingered. #urbandeer #photography #amateurphotography #whitetails #deer #cervids #nature #America

I’m not sure if I like folks feeding the neighborhood deer. We should not help them become human dependent. Still I revel in their beauty. #deer #nature #suburbia #304 #wildandwonderful #photography #amateurphotography #cervids

OK. Perhaps the deer finally figured out what to do with the orange? It appears to have been half eaten. #deer #oranges #mystery #photography

Orange 2.0 I’ll call it. The snow has long disappeared, but this orange was at least 800 feet from previous orange that sat lonely in the snow atop the hill. Second photo includes my feet for context. #nature #photography #amateurphotography #suburbia

The Barrackville, W.Va. covered bridge was decorated with Christmas lights and people were gathering for an annual event where they remember a resident who died the previous year. #coveredbridge #photography #amateurphotography #304 #westvirginia #christmas #history

Deer fascinate me. The way the freeze in place. Perhaps they believe they become invisible at the point. I also love their ability to turn their heads in what seems like 180 degrees. #deer #cervids #outdoors #nature #urbandeer #photography #amateurphotography #lazysunday

Our early morning walk was one of serenity and oddity as witnessed by this orange in the snow. Perhaps someone put there for the deer? #photography #nature #winter

The snow-tired, huddled masses. I counted 9 in this tiny herd that appeared to stick close to each other for warmth as a thick snow kept falling. #deer #WV #photgraphy #amateurphotography #cervids #winter #snow #polarvortex #sheerboredom

I hit a gold mine of deer and light snowfall today. There were 15 deer total. It was amazing! The homeowner had put out bowls of corn for them. #photography #amateurphotography #urbandeer #cervids #nature #winter #snow

They are difficult to see because of their winter coats, but there are two deer in this photo from my morning dog walk in 12 degree weather. #urbandeer #photography #amateurphotography #winter #nomoresnowplease #nature

My dog Jake is the embodiment of lover energy. He wants to meet everyone and every other creature and share his love. He also loves curling up in a ball. This is on the sofa together.

I needed a distraction from the burning of America yesterday. Went to watch an amazing group of young women.

Healthy snowman before his slow death. #photography #snowpocalypse #amateurphotography

Death of a snowman. Snowpocalypse is behind us now. We had between 16-20 inches off and on in January. One week, temps were below freezing for about 4/5 days…lost count it got so excruciating. #photography # suburbia #boredom #Appalachia

The WVU women’s basketball team warm up Feb. 1 before taking on Oklahoma State at home. The focus was on breast cancer today since they don’t get to celebrate that in October at the traditional time. #photography #WVUWomensBasketball #breastcancer #sports #girlpower
