A Morning Heavy With Dew


This morning was filled with moisture and as I ventured down a new path I notice an over grown trail.  It lead me to a field and it glistened with dew.  It was a gloriously cool and sunny morning.  I trudged though the tall weeds and grasses, taking in all of the beauty with lots of excitement.  And I prayed that the bugs that I have experience in Tennessee would not be as bad here in West Virginia and thankfully they weren't!  I had failed to spray myself with any protection, I had not planned to get off the cleared path.  I should have known better!!! 
Yellow Swallowtail



A skipper...

Common bluet...

I only took pictures today of these apples that I spotted.  My mind filled with a recipe that I want to try with these apples!  And it made my mouth water!

I traveled to Charleston, WV later this day and spotted this fawn resting with it's mother close by.

 
I could not get a clear shot of this odd bug as it landed for a moment on this blade of grass and crossed my path.


Heavy with morning dew...

Daisies, Chrysanthemum leucanthemum, or Oxeyed  Daisy.  Check out the crab spider's legs under the left side petals.

The morning dew was so beaded up on this sassafras plant that it looked like glitter.


By the end of my morning walk the air had begun to dry out a bit and this tiny bee was making his rounds.

Soft heart!























Early Tuesday morning I was doing my usual...walking our two Golden Retrievers, Sam and Carly. Just beyond the barn I noticed our two dogs chasing a fawn. Of course, I had to reprimand them and save the baby deer! The mother came whizzing by me at a speed that seemed to exceed what was possible! If I am ever found laid out, you all will know what happened to me! The mama deer was not happy and I do not blame her! I usually encounter a baby deer each year and sometimes a few in a season. It is always a fun experience!  And this is my second such event in two weeks! I’m going to be cursing this animal next spring when it is eating at my plants What can I say?....I have a soft heart.
