It has been a hard winter for humans and wildlife this year.
We don't normally see where the deer bed down for the night, usually it is back in the forest.
We are seeing them close to the cottage and I am guessing they are waiting for us to put out bird seed.
If they are first to the yard the get the seed, not other deer and certainly they don't leave much for the birds.
This doe was bedded down early in the morning right after the last big storm. There heavy outer coat seems to keep them dry.

Odocoileus virginianus
Like a cow, the white-tailed deer’s stomach has four compartments. This allows food to be processed more efficiently and means that the deer can feed on things that other mammals cannot process.
Dave: Agnes, I was looking for you.
Agnes: You should have looked in the bed first. I've been here a while.
Dave: But, it's only 8:30 pm and we're all hanging out downstairs.
Agnes: Noted. I've been listening.
Dave: Don't you want to hang out with us?
Agnes: Often. But haven't you noticed how comfy this bed is? I've been up here for an hour.
Dave: It is comfy. I'm heading back down. Want to join me?
Agnes: It depends on what's going on. This bed is like one pole of a magnet and my butt is the other pole. I can leave, but the pull of what's going on downstairs needs to be greater than the pull of the bed magnet.
Dave: Okay. Then I guess I'll head down without you and you might miss out on going outside and getting a bedtime biscuit.
Agnes: I won't miss that. Like I said, I've been listening and the moment anyone says "outside" or "biscuit" I'll be down there faster than you can say "I wonder where Agnes is"

Aggie often is the first to bed. She will go up and just lounge on the big bed while we're doing other things. I noticed how the light spilled out of the bedroom framing the scene when I came up to find her in this spot the other week and all of the hall lights were off. The photo just involved turning off the hall lights and setting spot exposure to include her on the bed. I like how it makes the bedroom look a bit like another dimension.
I have been setting up an area for Eleanor to play house. This is the bed that is seen upon entering the room.
For a quick change into an adult quest room, the Care bears and sleeping bags can be quickly pulled off and put into a closet.
When I was younger I used to be a closet girl, so I only dressed up secretly and with the curtains closed. That changed for the better and nowadays I'm an outgoing girl, and when I'm feminine I don't close any curtains anymore. My neighbors live quite close to me though and they may see me through the window. I don't mind that at all and if they spot me then they're welcome to do so. In fact in one of the houses that you see from the window next to me there's always a young man working with his computer in front of the window. I'm not sure what he is doing but he's always there; I think he's into gaming or so. Or maybe he is looking at me through the window, and simultaneously at Paula Satijn on Flickr in order to get a better close-up view 😄
Here is the final photo of the custom bed. Similar, but with a few tweaks to make it look more mission/rustic and less urban/ikea!
It's a California King size, and wow, is it big! I wish I had enough doll room to keep it for myself-- as it is, I barely had enough room on my teeny table to photograph it, lol!
She requested a shot same as Robyn so here it goes...modified the angle a bit. Did you notice that the lamp is still at the frame same as Robyns shoot? Hehe

Woo, down to the wire this week.
I'm not usually so last minute but it's been hard to sit at the computer with all the nothingness I've had to do the last few days.
I knew early on that I'd be dog-sitting all weekend, so I figured I'd take my picture at Zoey's house.
I also knew what theme I wanted to go for...
Something I feel very strongly about:
Yard dogs.
Now, plenty of people have a house, and a yard, and a dog (or two or three.) And that's fine and dandy, don't get me wrong. But there are people who specifically have yard dogs, and that's where I have an issue.
Most of you know what I'm talking about. The scruffy, matted, muddy something-doodle obsessively running up and down the chain-link fence at the dead end street. The over-sized husky howling his sorrowful song atop his dog house during the middle of the night. The old, wobbly beagle wagging his tail as he slowly follows pedestrians along the perimeter of his yard - obviously starved for attention.
These are just some of the examples I've come across while exploring various neighborhoods here and there. I've been planning on starting a little project and photographing some of these dogs, but for now I just walk and observe. And what I see makes me sad.
I'm not someone who could ever have an "outside only dog" - it just doesn't feel right. I can understand the necessity sometimes, like with working breeds. A livestock guardian, for instance, needs to live among whatever it's protecting. I get that. But too often, I wonder why some of these everyday folks even bothered getting a dog, when they go through such great lengths to isolate it from their lives.
Most "animal people" will agree that a dog is part of the family. Zoey and Bailey, while having a fully functional, fenced yard, are family dogs. They sleep inside (on one of 6 pet beds), they eat good food, they have regular vet checkups. They make a show of barking at people coming onto their property but they were raised to love everyone (especially the neighborhood kids who hop the fence to say hello.) While they aren't taken out for walks (which is something that bugs me, but with 4 kids to look after it's understandable that the dogs will have to sacrifice something), they almost always get to go up to the lake house with their humans for a change of scenery. (They had to stay behind this time because it was a wedding occasion and 50 guests to deal with meant no dogs allowed.)
As someone who's almost always lived in an apartment, I must say most house-dwellers have got it easy when it comes to pet ownership. I have more free time here, with three dogs, than I do at home, with one dog. I get up, let the pups out, they do their business, they play, they come in, they sleep... A few hours later, we rinse and repeat. At night I go to bed with all three of them dead to the world from a full day of frolicking.
It's almost too easy. Herein lies the problem sometimes.
With the economy issues the last few years, I've seen a lot of people lose their homes. Along with that, one of the first things to go is the dog. "I'm moving into an apartment and I have to rehome my teacup chihuahua because there's no room" is often code for "I'm too lazy to walk my dog" or "there's no way my dog can adjust to apartment life because he has never lived inside before." Drives me crazy. I'd argue that ANY breed (or mix) can live comfortably indoors. A yard does nothing but give you an out from ... well, getting out.
I could go on but I'll stop the rant there. Long story short, I believe owning a pet should be harder work than many people let it be. There's tons of responsible pet owners out there who get it right, but they're equally matched by the irresponsible... and they get it so, so wrong. And, sadly, it's the pets who suffer for their luxury.
Climb out of your holes, people! And please take your dogs with you.
A moment to talk about the photo, now... It's my first upload with my new lens! Nothing fancy 'cause all the ones I really want are upwards of $600 and this is just a higher end kit lens, but it's fun having a bit of a wider angle to mess with. Zoom's gonna take some getting used to but we'll see what comes out of it.
I shot it a few different ways - higher up to see Haiku's face fully, and with his head placed at the gate opening for a clearer view. But when I went through the results, this one stuck out. The bar covering his eyes gave it the melancholy feel I was going for. Don't be fooled, though. Hike's anything but a neglected yard dog :)
His challenge for the week was being away from Zozo for the duration of the shoot (all of 5 minutes!) It'll be hard for him to go back home tomorrow. No yard, no full-time dog company... But we'll manage. Because as his owner, *I'll* sacrifice what I have to to keep him happy.
I'm also feeling a lot better about Flickr so I will definitely be back in the mix this week. Thanks to everyone who continues to read my essays :) I always enjoy hearing your thoughts!

Notice my little reading lamp which is actually supposed to be hung up on the wall - how lazy can you get!
The Miles M.14 Magister was a British two-seat monoplane basic trainer aircraft built by the Miles Aircraft for the Royal Air Force and Fleet Air Arm. It was affectionately known as the Maggie and was based on Miles' civilian Hawk Major and Hawk Trainer. It was the first monoplane designed specifically as a trainer for the RAF. The Magister was powered by the 130-hp de Havilland Gipsy Major I engine which gave it a top speed of 132 mph, a range of 380 miles and a service ceiling of 18,000 ft.

317722, the 317 test bed unit trialing AC traction motors amongst other things, is seen passing the Romford ROC on the Witham trials path, working 5F96 10+40 Ilford Depot - Witham. The unit was being tested after suffering one of its many 'sit down' moments, prior to going back into passenger service.
Getting the unit on the Witham trials path was necessary so it could have a proper 100mph run- something the West Anglia route does not offer. Ilford based drivers did not 'sign' 317722, despite being competent on 317 units, 722 was different due to the different equipment fitted to the train. The figure in the secondmans side window is an Ilford based driver, route conducting a Bishops Stortford based driver who signed the unit but not the route.
317722 was withdrawn during June 2016, and was moved to Ely Papworth Sidings during 2019 for storage.
