Some of the boys came out during the daytime recently.

They are still in velvet and ‘friends’ for the moment.

But autumn is coming, and changes in hormones, and girls. And, well, things will change.

How anyone can watch nature’s cycles and say, “Yep, just random. No order. Accidental unguided matter in motion” is both intellectually dishonest and blind to what is plain and incontrovertible.

I love watching these creatures. They, like the rest of creation, have an author.

And that author is anything but silent.
