If They...
If they breathe, they live. If they live, they feel. If they feel, they love. If they love, they are aware. If they are aware, they have a soul. ~ Williams

About Me
- Victoria
- California, United States
- I live in a little cottage with my furry "children" in a beautiful mountain forest where we enjoy daily visits from the little wild creatures. I love animals (you probably guessed), books, photography, tall trees, clear lakes, rain, snow, tea, the moon, and creating all kinds of art.

I'm blessed to have lots of them around my cottage.
Oh Mr. Williams, so true. So very true.
ReplyDeleteMrs. Rose!!! I nearly BURST into tears.
What a wonderful way to start the day for me.
Dear, dear, little lady... and please tell, are these her babes from last year?
So excited to see her again :)
Is that a woodpecker? How lovely he is.
And! Wee masked racoons! They are BEAUTIFUL! Are they eating on your porch? Adorable family.
You caught a wonderful close up of the cute little squirrel - what a sweet face. And, awww, his wee paws...
The magnificent coyote. Such a truly, stunning creature.
With urbanisation ever creeping into their domains, may all these creatures find a safe haven always in your magical corner of the world, Victoria.
Sighs of delight way over here down under xx
Vicki, those are Mrs. Rose's babies from this May :) The bird is a Steller's Jay. The raccoons are eating on my porch, it's Mrs. Rhonda Bushytail and her babies. The squirrel is little Sunshine, so named because she's always so cheerful and the coyote is a youngster from Mrs. Coyote's litter last year; I've never gotten close enough to tell if it's a boy or a girl. I'm happy you enjoyed the photos! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the info and, I send wishes that they all be safe and well with you as their fairy guardian/godmother, Victoria, all on your magic mountain.
