1. Daily Photos

My Task At Hand

My version of "Daily Photos" will be ever-so-typical of myself: 'A Different Little Twist'!! I'm using this gallery as an impetus: one of my present goals is to add several photos per day into this website. As I'm doing so, I will choose one of the photos to include in this 365 day project! (If I experience a difficult time choosing which image to use as my 'Daily Photo', I'll add the other choice(s) into my Contender gallery) Occasionally, there will be days when the photo was actually taken on that particular day! This will probably be governed by available time and my creative spirit! The photos within this gallery are available to order as prints and other merchandise; click on the 'buy' icons. I will appreciate any comments and/or critiques; click on the 'add comments' on the bottom left, and please include your name! You can also vote on the photos, if you choose; drag your pointer onto the enlarged image on the right; a box will appear on the top right which allows the voting process. Just click either yea-or-nay! Thank you for visiting this Gallery, and I hope you enjoy the photos presented here! © Copyright 2009 Lady Kates Photography

 "Margie" 
 I shared Thanksgiving with my daughter, her fiance` and their lil' bulldog!
    HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!  

My daughter captured this endearing moment of our friend Karen and myself. 
This was at Tent City ('05); our historical reenactment of 1915 Atascadero, California.
  
Yes...this turkey is her 'pet'!  
Yes...she walks the bird around with a collar and leash! 
No!!!  The bird WAS NOT her Thanksgiving dinner!

This update photo of 'Jane Doe' was taken late this afternoon. She made it through her ordeal no more worse-for-the-wear, other than she was cold and began shivering. 

There is a photo of how we used the rope to get her out of the situation here.
 
That was certainly fun reading all the comments on the "Venison Soup" image!  Our neighbor, Chuck, and I thought it probably would be, after I told him that  I was definitely going to post that  as my DP!! Thank you all for the interest, giggles, and concern!

The day after my return from the Yosemite trip, my husband, myself and the neighbors noticed a doe in a gulley on our property, standing motionless....all day. Something was certainly wrong with her, but nothing obvious. I took her some dinner (!) and breakfast the next morning.  She had managed to move about 50 yds. up our driveway, then proceeded to just stand there all day.
She was even letting me hand feed her.  Last Tuesday night, she followed our neighbor into their fenced in yard area, and as been there ever since. 
Something is wrong with one of her eyes.(This is her good eye-in the above photo)  We think she's blind in that eye, and maybe a head injury caused that and the possibility of some brain damage; she doesn't maneuver very well.
Seriously, she DID end up in that water trough all of her own doing!  It was sad, yet funny!  Chuck and I so wished we had gotten that on video!
We've called several 'animal' agencies, but no-one wants to do anything. They say just let her be; you know....survival of the fittest....let nature take its course.
This afternoon, the neighbors and I decided to carry on with our 'deerly rehabilitation', and see if she seems to improve.  She was letting me hand feed her apples again tonight; she does have an appetite and is drinking from (instead of lounging in!!!)  the trough.
We know she would not last long if we let her out of the fenced area; quite probably be the bucks that would end up killing her; she wouldn't be able to get away from them.

If anyone has any helpful advice, we would greatly appreciate it!
