Our condo provides us with access to nature right outside our windows. We see deer come down the hill to walk up the bike path. We see Lake Michigan change hour by hour. We see sandhill cranes fly over head and geese gather in our harbor and all kinds of gulls and terns dive for dinner. We catch migrating birds like merganser ducks, white pelicans and hummingbirds as they pass through Port Washington. We see all kinds of birds visit the feeders hanging right outside the building. In the six years we’ve lived here we‘ve caught glimpses of great horned owls, red fox, wild turkeys raccoons and blue herons to name a few more.
Walking around Port or looking out our windows presents us with opportunities to enjoy Mother Nature every day. So I don’t know why I was sort of surprised when I walked from our kitchen into the TV room and glanced toward the deck. A visitor!
A beautiful mourning dove perched on our railing. He/she saw me and watched as I moved slowly toward the sliding door. Our little friend stayed and didn’t seem to be too concerned by my presence.
Such quiet beauty.....on our deck.....
