  1. Great shots of the deer this week. Also loved seeing the mountains and farmland, and especially that beautiful blue Maine sky. Makes me miss home even more. Thanks all for sharing these bits and pieces of Maine that so many take for granted.

  2. Great Photos, love looking at all these on Sunday evenings, you all do such beautiful work…

  3. Fantastic! Just an explosion of color. Love the red barn and all the flowers. Better than Better Homes and Gardens magazine or Country.. I learn a lot on here. Maybe it would be best not to say locations of deer due to hunting season arriving.

  4. Once again the beautiful pictures of flowers and deer plus all other animals. Thank you so much for all the time you spend taking these pictures for us to enjoy

  5. We moved to Florida 7 years ago, and we’ve yet to see a Purple Hibiscus down here.
    Plenty of Red, Pink, Peach,and Yellow varieties, but no Purple.
    So, Farmington, Maine? – Whodathunk?
    Thanks and congratulations to Natasha Erb for that stunning photo, and many thanks to the Daily Bulldog for all of those beautiful pictures (and wonderful memories) we see every week!

  6. The photos, as always, are fantastic! A generous gift to the community. Jane Knox, your iconic pic of the red barn reminds me of all the jigsaw puzzles I did as a kid. Yours is better, of course, but the essence is the same. Moving. Thank you all again…
