We went to Kuipers Family Farm yesterday to pick apples, and what should we find but a wading bird, wandering its way between the trees!
It was such a strange happenstance that I went scrolling through my camera roll and realized it was not, in fact, an isolated one. Here, on an island in the road, is one of several deer having a leisurely snack at rush hour:
And finally, a raccoon at our bird feeder. This is, in and of itself, not that unusual; we frequently get after-hours visits from the raccoon, the skunk, and the possum, and on our most exciting nights we get them all at once. It is a little strange, however, to get one during daylight hours.
The moral of the story, I suppose, is that nature will always find a way to be as baffling as it is beautiful.
…and to have your camera ready.
