Happy Halloween to you! In honor of the holiday, I thought I’d take a few photos of the critters I’ve seen recently at the house.
BIG SPIDER – at my front door. Glad he didn’t knock!
Cricket on the back patio during the day. I thought they only came out at night?
Dead Katydid at the back door
Sadly, dead moth who was feeding the ants as goes the circle of life.

But the best part? The deer who were just standing outside the barn after my last lesson. Sorry for the grainy photo, it was dark out!
I have missed seeing the deer in my new house. At my old one, I would see them passing by at twilight across my neighbor’s front lawn. But when I recently left a horseback riding lesson, while walking to my car, I thought a big dog was scampering past me. When my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I saw an entire family of deer a few yards away from me. How glorious for me! As I quietly talked with them, they stood there listening intently. It was such a precious moment! They even patiently waited while I grabbed my phone and took a few photos. This was the best photo of the group I got, although I’m sorry it’s so grainy. It was dark out, but I could see them and their eyes twinkling in the night.
I love deer. I’ve written about them before in my blog. I love all animals, even little Mr. Mousey who hopefully lives outside only. You know, I have two cats in my home whom I adore. Hopefully one day, I will even get a big dog, but that will have to wait for now. Maybe I won’t be able to get a dog, but perhaps someone will share theirs with me so that we can play fetch and romp with enthusiasm outside.

There’s something about animals that I adore. Sometimes, I think they are better than humans for they are more honest and loyal. The older I’ve gotten, the more attuned I seem to be getting with animals, especially wildlife. I wonder if it’s the Pisces in me?
I hope you have a lovely day.
Shine On!
