Gnome Crossing

The following set of photos were all taken in our front yard. From the look of these pictures it appears that Hui-Hui lives in an enchanted forest. It's actually just a quarter acre lot on a suburban cul de sac. Still we do get a fair amount of wild life. Nothing terribly exotic, big gray squirrels, stellar jays, etc. Last week we saw a big red-headed woodpecker, and on Saturday we had these four deer wander through. We have a little clearing in front where I laid out a 7-circuit Cretan labyrinth a few years ago. The deer looked quite magical out there. It's been such a wet winter that Hui-Hui hasn't gotten out there much, so today I took him out to walk the paths and look for gnomes. He almost caught a couple!
