Bloggers Mistake:
I do hope the deer have found a safe haven..and remain safe during the next month...as more hunters take to the woods with their rifles.
Have I inadvertently put these lovely deer in harms way by posting their photos? Will hunters find them in the nearby woods?
The Duplex (see "Woodland Duplex post) in the Woods brings to mind Thornton Burgess, who used his outdoor observations in nature as plots for his Mother Westwind stories.
In his first book, Old Mother West Wind, published in 1910, all of the characters were introduced...including Peter Rabbit, Jimmy Skunk, Sammy Jay, Bobby Raccoon, Little Joe Otter, Grandfather Frog, Billy Mink, Jerry Muskrat, Spotty the Turtle, Old Mother West Wind and her Merry Little Breezes.
