Life Perspective: Reviews & More

I saw a deer outside my window again yesterday, so I grabbed my camera and tried to get a few shots. Then two more deer came out of the woods. Fortunately, there was several deer this time who slowly walked by my window, including one little bitty fellow who looked a bit like Bambi . At least the pics turned out better than last time!

Deer me! The deer in Nashville have grown plentiful and rather tame. There are quite a few that live in my neighborhood, which has plenty of trees for cover. These are the deer I see frequently at Warner Park, who are so tame you can get pretty close to take their picture. This little guy was walking past my window just now. Too bad I scared him when I moved the curtain to take the photo, because he was so close, it would have been a great back-yard wildlife shot. I know it is good to thin the herds from time to time, and I am glad the Lord has provided venison as a food for us, but I must admit, although I never saw Bambi until 2011, I have always hated the thought of these beautiful creatures getting hunted and killed.

It is so nice to have my nights off! I am still working the day job, but not as hard, not as many hours. After all, I am on vacation! Even with gas prices like they are, not to mention that fact you can't find gas in Nashville, I have had a lovely time already. I was able to take the dogs to the park yesterday, and we just ambled down side trails and paths we don't usually cover, finding new vistas to admire, and new rocks to sniff. I have discovered I am a park-aholic. I love these long walks; they are so restful and soothing. Looking at countless shades of green, the tapestry of overhanging branches, twisting vines, colorful flowers, even the variations in the color and texture of tree bark is breathtaking. The first day of autumn also brought with it the heady aroma of fall leaves on the breeze, and the first scattering of fall leaves on the paths. Even the dogs crunched leaves as they walked. The dogs love our walks, too, and it is fun to watch their reactions to squirrels,...
