Another busy day in the delightful surroundings of Pine Mountain.
Before breakfast there were several surprise visitors in the form of male deer roaming around the main house. I photographed this one as it stood looking at me with the upper cabin in the background.
They are quite timid but look as though it would be possible to make friends.
Clive and I started the working day by sorting out a couple of old garden chairs and get them ready for painting. They had become quite rickety and needed the screws either tightening or in some cases replacing altogether. Eventually they were ready to be sprayed. I decided I didn’t want to get paint on my relatively new jeans so left it to Clive (the artist) and stood well back from any overspray. More photos when the work is completed.
There’s an abundance of wildflowers, butterflies and moths. It’s difficult to know which ones to include in the blog… here are just a few. The last photo of the white tailed skimmers is courtesy of Tricia who found them at the lower pond in considerable numbers.
