deer season
I shoot my first buck
with an iPhone

This was a very fortuitous find as there was a 24-hr endurance trail bike race at this park where we walk. We showed up for our weekly walk as they were packing up to leave. Around the back side between a residential addition and the park, we happened upon this guy – waiting patiently for the invaders to leave his territory. On a personal note this is the first time I’ve seen a buck at this park. His harem and progeny abound so we knew he had to be around somewhere. Well here he is!

There’s not too much good news these days, but yesterday I received some great news. A dear friend and sister to my heart found out that “there’s no evidence of disease” in her body. This is obviously the answer to to our prayers and the fulfillment of our hopes. Who can say why some prayers are answered and others are not? Or, why some hopes are fulfilled while others are dashed? It is as they say – a mystery. What is not a mystery but not that widely understood is that: life is precious. Each day is a gift to be treasured and celebrated. Be happy and live well, my friends.

the Cause of our joy
while can’t be seen by others
manifests in us
