Secrets ~

"Hold thy peace, dear little Pearl!"


whispered her mother.


"We must not always talk
in
the marketplace

 of what happens
to us
in the forest."

The second shot is especially incredible--you've caught her with open mouth and it looks like she's actually talking to you.
Wow! Great match up of words--as always. Love this, Susan.

This is absolutely mesmerising. I don't know what it is about it, it feels like a child's story that is held dear into old age, like a Disney film or a favourite bedtime story you've heard a thousand times. It's wonderful in the true sense of the word, timeless.

Lucille, the deer are white-tailed deer. These photos are taken through my bedroom window. The deer are at the edge of the woods which is about 40 feet away.

Oh, my gosh! So precious!

I watch the deer in my backyard so much during the summer, it's odd for me to see them so furry!

Tracy said...

These are lovely photos, Susan. And as ever you have the knack of pairing pictures with words to create a unique story. :o) Happy Week ((HUGS))

Oh the snow! And such delightful photos. Ours all dried up between Christmas and New Year so I'm so jealous.

What a sweet story you have made out of these wonderful pictures! I'm glad to see that the deer looks very well fed!! Ours around here are skin and bones.

Kass said...

Love that quote. It's got me thinking on a number of levels.

Magical photos.

Maureen said...
