Strolling with the deer: January 27 2025

avatar

I was going to make the title of this post “walking with the deer and my dear” because I took a sunset walk with my husband and saw the usual deer herd patrolling. But that would have been a ridiculous and very corny title!

Still, I was tempted. Ha ha.

Okay, I know they are basically just really really big rodents (and they eat our garden flowers and the bird seed from our feeders!), but they’re so elegant and shy. I can’t help but enjoy their beauty.

They are so funny because they don’t really want to have to run away. So they will stare at us until they really feel we are too close and may actually be a threat before they get scare and run off.

Here are a few other pictures from our walk, mostly of the red sky.

Thank you for visiting! It is way past bedtime but I’ll be back tomorrow to interact with some other posts.

I love seeing the deer out this time of year, or anytime of year!😊
My neighbor was just remarking that he hasn’t seen any in a while …….
Usually, that’s when the cougars are back !😳😺

Oh yeah, in a contest between cougars and deer, there's only winner. But hopefully that means the cougars are well fed and not interested in you and @elizabethbit, @silvertop!

That's a good way to actually think about it...😅
The cougar and deer population seem to circle around and around from a year to year!
It is their home, they just let me hike Lol!😇
