on a moderate tree trunk smaller than the one in picture, with thunderous speed and might
That’s acorn woodpecker !

A nature’s wonder with a shell rivals
the exquisite craftsmanship
Two deer outside the fence
這兩頭鹿探頭探腦
就想跳進院子來嚐鮮
Deer resting on the grass in my backyard
這隻約摸四、五月大的小鹿
在窗外草坪上休憩
像在自己家中見了人也不躲
