Caught on Camera! Mule Deer

You've probably already seen my deer photos but I got some more really nice ones today.  These Mule Deer aren't even afraid of my dog anymore.  

Mule Deer live mostly in the Western United States.  They can thrive in deserts and mountains. 

Male Mule Deer grow antlers through summer and fall and shed them in early spring.

Most female Mule Deer (pictured here) most often give birth to two fawns unless it is their first baby,
they only have one.
Notice all the leaves on my grape vine.

Now you see them, now you don't!   Mama deer showed her fawn right where the good stuff is.  I didn't want to scare this fawn away.  She was so small and she still has spots!
And my vine will recover just like it always does.

Stella de Oro Daylily

 Oooooooohhhhh......... I love this photo! 

 I planted Stella de Oro Daylilies

 in my front yard last year as a border. 

They are growing very well this year.  

 Isn't it funny they are still blooming? 

Stella de Oro daylily is a compact plant and early bloomer, reaching a height of just 12" with a similar spread. It blooms from May-July. (Except in my case!)  Its adaptability to a wide range of planting zones and conditions, makes it the most popular of the daylilies. The fragrant flowers are golden and trumpet-shaped. The foliage is also attractive, forming a dense clump that can function as a ground cover.  Zone hardy 3-9.

Our Moon

So I know this isn't quite the Harvest Moon but I wanted to see how well my camera would zoom in.  I was pretty impressed.  The Harvest Moon will actually rise on September 29, 2012.  I am looking forward to taking pictures of it.  Good thing I am practicing!

I'm Back!

I must be the worst blogger ever.  I haven't done anything impressive with my garden or taken any cool photos.  Hopefully I can get back into the swing of things now that school is in.
