Greetings...I'd like to share a couple of shots of the wild life where I live. They are not the quality shots I've seen in this forum, but I'm getting better....

bumpity bump, BTW, Buehl I see this one's approaching its capacity, when you re-post would you consider putting the words READ ME in all caps to make this crucial starting point more obvious to new comers? I know it's equivalent to shouting, but I feel like shouting might be tolerable in this case. Thanks, again, for all the work you've done to keep this thread alive and current. It's one of the most important resources on kitchen planning anywhere. Liriodendron

Suggestions for improving the new GW?
Q

Really? I don't remember ever having the problem until recently. Now I'm going to have to go through last year's posts to see if my memory is failing me. It WAS a lot harder to post photos on the old GW - not very mobile-friendly, and only one photo per post, and it took forever to upload, and then I'd often lose my connection during that infuriating forced preview page... IMO, sideways photos are at least an improvement over that. Houzz isn't perfect, and is still a pretty primitive forum, but I think it's a huge improvement from the old site. Now I'm off to go look over all my old posts... sigh

I wish they'd do here what they do on other forums, such as Tripadvisor. You can still pull up old threads and read what's there - you just can't post to them. I believe there's a six month "expiration period" on Tripadvisor threads. Seems the reappearance of the old threads here bother some folks and don't bother others, but if they'd institute something along the lines of what I just described, I think the issue would be alleviated all around. This would also make things a little tougher for spammers, which I'm sure we'd all appreciate.

New screen door and steps thx to GW
Q

It's so funny how many of you mention the infamous summer screen door slam sound. DH spent some time adjusting to get just the right "slamminess." Robo, yes ... I think it was the only red house anywhere around! Bunny, I was editing the photo to cross out part of the add'y and that accidentally got in there. It was too late to edit out. Our dog's name is Clementine and, like all goldens, she is a vicious watchdog. : ) I took a pic of the rear elevation yesterday. I had the tree in the center pruned back (not removed) as people suggested, removed the lamp post (we added a cobalt blue enamel gooseneck light over the new door; just realized you can't see it in the photo). We squared off and cleaned up the bed, painted the porch . Hopefully in a year or 2 or 3 the new hydrangea will cover more of the porch elevation. (We have trimmed the ivy but are keeping it.)

The two does fighting would be great if it were in focus.

Yes, but it is still a nice picture, something that isn't often seen, much less captured on film.

Kt...found the deer eating from my feed bunk. When they were done, they ran away jumping and playing. Pretty comical....

Not sure if my link will work or not. I don't know how to do that thumbnail stuff so this is a link to an album.
You have wonderful wide open spaces for the deer to roam, I don't, yet they come every day to eat my flowers, poop in my yard and pretty much wreck havoc.........but they are beautiful.
I think if you click on Slideshow it might be easier.

Here is a link that might be useful:

Your babies are cute, makes it hard to get real upset with them. Your yard is beautiful. We are working on ours. Its absolutely horrible. Never been much of a flowers and pretty sort, but I'm actually liking this beautification project.
You'll have to clue me in on how to view the album or set up a slide show from here.

Nice pics! What kind of feed do you have out? There must be some corn in it.

These were taken January 1 2008. We were feeding mostly wheat mids with a little corn. By feeding wheat mids, the deer got some nurishment without breaking the bank. We fed around 60 pounds a week. They would have eaten more if it we would have fed it. There were evenings I counted over 30 head coming to feed. I've lived here on this very farm for almost 30 years, and have never seen so many hungry deer. Once spring arrived, they vanished into their seasonal routines.

I have groups here of about 24 at the largest, but mostly a dozen or less.

They don't mess with the molasses or sweet feed or even hay, just anything that has corn in it.
