Here’s my monthly article for 48-North magazine. This will be published in the November issue in a couple of weeks, and I also get the cover! If you click on the image, it should enlarge so you can read the story easier. Quite some critters, these moon snails.

 

The Twins: Photography by Nancy Cherry Eifert

On another subject: On June 8th, I blogged about our backyard fawns.  We currently have 9 deer that come and go in our little meadow. Some pass through and we only see them occasionally, but thanks to Nancy’s efforts at handing out apples to all comers, this spring we had two moms that produced three fawns. This photo was taken around June 1st. This second photo below was taken of the same twins just the other day, October 16, making them about five months old. That’s the same apple tree as in the first photo. They won’t take apples directly from our hands, but I think they would if we spent some time coaxing them. Mom’s still here too, and the three of them spend considerable time standing in the grass patiently waiting for the next cut-up apple. For East-coast readers, these are Columbian black-tail deer, much smaller and more delicate-looking than either mule or white-tail deer.

Thanks for reading this week.
