Rusty Ferns

Roadside ferns this year are a lovely rusty orange. As my 93 year old Mother said this afternoon, "Mother Nature has been working overtime in the colour department, what a treat"

One of the young ones from over the winter

He has been visiting a couple of times since the winter...... he came with a sister in June, and spent the afternoon in the yard....he had the beginnings of antlers at that time but one was definitely damaged. A few days ago, I looked out the window, and there he was again. He still has a problem with his antlers, but he has developed well over the summer. I hope he makes it through the fall!!
