While taking a drive late in the day, we spotted something in the field, so we backed up to take a better look. At first there was only the larger deer, but after a short time another head popped up and we were treated to this pair staring back at us. It was beginning to get dark, so it took some adjustments with the telephoto lens, but I finally captured them amongst the fall colored grasses.

The last two shots are of one of our "barn" cats patiently waiting for her dinner. No, she doesn't eat apples, she actually sits up there on the roof, waiting for the squirrels and chipmunks that use that apple tree as a means to get up on the roof. Once they get up there, they run across to the back of the house and jump into the larger poplar trees and from there, down onto the bird feeders. Smart cat to figure out if she waits there, she may get a swipe at one and make dinner of it for the night. She's actually saving us money, too... less bird seed eaten by the squirrels and less cat food we have to buy. Good kitty! ;->

I have a feeling we're being watched.

Great shot of the deer, Mary. Maybe they're practicing their camouflage skills for next week's hunters.

LOL....Good Kitty!!! Great pics Mary!

Great pictures, Mary! Being a lover of cats I especially enjoyed your 'tale' of the kitty and her art of hunting. ;>

Obviously Uncle Chuck and the boys weren't around when that photo was taken!! Speaking of which; shouldn't they be up terrorising Little Betsy by now?? ;-)

Also; I heard that today is someone's birthday in this house (and it's not mine)........

On both of these pages--------Happy Birthday to
Dr. Nat. !!!!! Never ask a gal how old she is.

There is a story in the free press about an infected buck found 40 miles from Michigan's U.P.

Enjoyed these shots! Very cool catch of the deer and the kitty doing her thing...
