In my last post, I mentioned the harshness that country life can bring. But nature also has a beauty.
Wild geese switch directions when they're flying in hopes of avoiding people.
The deer tend to shy away from people, but will examine a trail camera.
The fawn only ran from me after its mother snorted in alarm. This one is a twin, born in the spring. The photo is from September.
Thistle. Hated by farmers. Loved by bees. Ugly from a distance. Amazing from a bee's perspective.
So when people say they grew up in the country, in my world it means they grew up in an ever-changing landscape filled with things to explore, and innocent looking things that seemed designed to cause itches, pain, or sometimes even death.
I'm very thankful to have been given the opportunity to view the nature in my world.
