I am skipping all around with my posts, sharing photos and outings I have not shared yet. These are all photos from my yard and deck, the local fire road and the nearby lake.
A juvenile Red-bellied Woodpecker stopped in for a meal.
One of the many bunnies in our yard.
These are from a walk on our local fire road trail, we heard two Barred Owls calling. I could only find one. Also in the mosaic are the Brown Thrasher, Blue Jay and the Peacock.
Below, the Swallowtail butterflies are loving our butterfly bushes.
A walk to our local lake, I saw a mama deer with her fawn. I like the reflection on the lake.
A Thrush, maybe a young Wood Thrush?
The Downy Woodpecker is a regular visitor to my deck, they like the peanut suet balls.
These images take me to the end of my July images, more of my Alaska trip photos to come soon.
I am linking up to Heidrun's Mosaic Monday I hope you can stop by and visit Heidrun and check out the Mosaic Monday post.

Hi Eileen, First of all, your new header image is just great. I enjoyed all the photos from your yard and deck and truly admire your location. 😊 Looking forward to more of your Alaska photos. We continue to have a lot of wildfire smoke in the Seattle skies. Climate change is hitting us hard. Thanks for sharing and hosting and wishing you and hubby a happy weekend. John
Good Morning, dear Blogfriend Eileen. The sunrise welcome the Day here... and I enjoye reading again your post. Love to see the woodpecker, smile about the bunnies in your garden.
Have a wonderful week, and thank you for hosting.
Hugs by Heidrun
Cute rabbit!

What a delightful series of images! I also admire the new blog banner. It draws me in... YAM xx
Happy Saturday, Eileen! Mama deer and the her baby are so adorable. You are lucky seeing so many wonderful critters in your neighbourhood.
I love bunnies. They're so cute!
Seeing an owl always makes for a great birding day. Neat one!
Thanks for hosting… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
Hello Eileen. Great photos. The Red-bellied woodpecker is beautiful. The photos of the deer are amazing and beautiful. Downy woodpecker is cute.
Have a wonderful weekend.
Dear Eileen, the juvenile Red-bellied Woodpecker is so cute 😍 - but so is the Downy Woodpecker! (Is it still young too? Or just wet?) So many beautiful animals in your immediate surroundings, from deer and bunnies to wonderful butterflies and a rich bird life - I think you live close to paradise...
All the best and have a nice weekend, Traude

Hello Eileen,
Beautiful series of photos of your garden and near your house.
The young red-bellied woodpecker and the great spotted woodpecker are beautiful
The mother deer with her calf is my favorite, really so cute to see.
I wish you a good weekend.
Greetings Irma
Hello Eileen. I believe you cannot comment on my blog and I have discussed the issue with the WordPress engineers, but they haven't yet found a solution.
I would like to ask you a couple of info about it.
Have you tried to comment using your WordPress profile too?
What does the system answer back to you when the comment is not accepted?
Thank you very much for your cooperation. I hope somebody will find a way out of this issue.
Thanks for sharing the delicate images of these lovely critters tò. The mama dear with Bambi is very pretty.
Happy Saturday and happy weekend!
Hello Eileen,
It's always a joy to see your photos. The Owl is so special. The butterflies are my favorite. They are so beautiful. Take care, and enjoy your weekend!
Oh, the owl!!! And the deer-reflection-shot - wonderful!
I thought Woodpeckers were more colorful?
No idea if I qualify today,but there are few animals in the city...
Once, though, I would like to have the courage and ask if I may pet these...
Have a great Saturday!
you have something for everyone today. the reflecting deer, the OWL for me, love owls. and the happy bird at the top.. so much beauty so little time to snap it
Lindas fotos.As borboletas sempre lindas, os cervos , fiquei com pena do pica-pau que deixou de comer... Ótimo fim de semana! beijos, chica
Wonderful collection of nature photos! It's great to see so much wildlife right in your backyard.
The deer and their reflections are beautiful and my favourite. Lovely photos of all the critters, have a nice weekend and thanks for hosting.
Mama deer is so hidden away in nature
Such a great variety of wildlife around where you live, Eileen. It’s especially encouraging to see the young of the year doing well and making their way in life.
I was excited to come back and read more about your adventures through Alaska! You are teasing us making us wait! The photos you took of the mama deer and her fawn at your local lake, melt my heart! The reflections are beautiful! The fawn is adorable still sporting its spots. I have noticed many fawns around my area this year and have noticed that as summer progresses, their spots are slowly disappearing.
Great photo's from those animals. Especially the woodpecker selden seen here around in the Netherlands.
I saw my first fawn this week! The bugs have been so bad. Your deer photo is wonderful.
So beautiful birds, Great series of photos.
Happy Weekend. Thanks a lot for hosting.
Owls are so hard to find in the wild, and then to get a picture of one before it takes off is even harder!
...Eileen this is a fabulous post starting with the header down to the Downy Woodpecker. It's a delight! Thanks for hosting the party, be well.
I love that you saw that owl! That makes a day extra special. And of course, bunnies! Happy weekend!
Thanks for hosting Critters each week. Loved seeing your birds, deer and bunny! I've god a hodge podge which includes a short slow motion of bees (from the internet). Hope you are doing well.
Gorgeous photos, Eileen. The doe and the fawn are wonderful. Thanks for hosting and have a lovely new week. (Nick from MAP)

I love the owls too, they are usually hard to find here, I can hear them calling more often. Enjoy your day and happy weekend.
A wonderful collection of critters today, Eileen. That owl and it's face hidden behind those leaves! Have a great weekend.
Great photos!
Love the deer reflection photos!
Have a blessed day!
Thank you John, I appreciate your link and comment today! I have a few critter posts lined up before I get back into sharing the Alaska photos. The wildfires are both sad and scary! I hope you get some rain to help put out those fires.

Beautiful photos, as always! I love the ones of the deer with their reflections in the water. 'So peaceful looking! My post is titled "Pelicans Shot from a Cannon". They weren't, of course, it's just a funny camera angle caught completely by accident. -Marci @ Old Rock Farmhouse
I love the birds and butterflies, but the deer reflected in the water is spectacular!
