welcome to the summer issue

ffptp is spending the summer in texas where the flora are brighter

and the skies are just as big as can be

we snapped a Great Blue Heron pair
[she's hunting in the San Antonio river]
we've arrived just as new ducklings have -
here's a Muscovy and her little ones
along with some really cute black and yellow
mallard ducklings swimming with their mamas


and yo hey! wow! our intern spied a spotted fawn
running through the brush

it had only camouflage as a means of defense
and finally just stopped still and squatted, shivering.
poor tiny thing couldn't have been a month old.
we snapped it and then let it hustle back
to its mama waiting in the woods
