~Hobbes
& Frisky 2001~
In loving memory of my beloved Black Cat, Frisky. (1982-2001)
He lived nearly 20 years, and in that time, shared Good
Times & Bad. As a kitten, he willingly endured anything
this girl (age 5 at the time) could throw at him, including
playing "Dress Up". His favorite Past-Time,
even in his old age, was to violently defend his seat
in a Doll Stroller which he loved to catch a catnap in
or go for a "Push" around the House. Pictured
here with his younger brother Hobbes; a 20lb. San Francisco
Tabby with 3 extra toes on his front paws which allow
him to grasp items. |

~Boris,
The Great Hunter~
Shown here, slinking about, Boris is a pure bred Seal-Point
Siamese. Skittish to a fault, this sleek feline is all
muscle. He has proved to be a cunning hunter, and has
thrived in our rural environment. |

~Summer
Breeze~
Munching Grass in a Evening, this Doe and her twins was
one of 2 Mothers to give birth to and successfully raise
twins on our property in 2001. Because we do not hunt,
the deer look on our property as a safe haven and often
birth and rear their young right below my cabin. The babies
shown here are about 3 weeks old. |

~Circling
the Skies~
Many birds including Turkey Buzzards, Ravens, Golden
Eagles and Red Tail Hawks (shown here) ride the magnificent
updrafts our Mountainous Territory provides...

~Wings
of Change 2003~
In the Summer and Fall of 2003, our New Backyard is Blessed
by a Frenzy of Fluttering Wings, as hundreds of Butterflies
and Moths drink from the tiny white flowers on the Spearmint
which surrounds our House. |

Our
New Backyard (2003) is teaming with friends of a feathered
persuation. Pictured above, one of our many Hummingbird

Fall feasting at the feeder. |
