Yesterday, just before dinner, I spotted two deer in the front yard. They looked like a mother and child, and they were grazing placidly.
I filmed them through the window of the front door, so the quality of the video is not that good, but I knew that if I went out, they would probably just run away. Bow could see them, too, because when he stands at the front of the pens he has a clear view of the proceedings outside. He stood and watched for a while, then he started making raspberry sounds, which prompted me to open the front door and go outside, but, as expected, the deer completely disappeared once I did that.
However, I did see what may have been a third deer further away jumping into the pasture to join them. This is a family of deer that I sometimes see with my headlights reflected in their eyes when I come home at night for a drive into town.
Bow did not say anything about the deer. He just wanted me to hurry up and get dinner ready.
I spotted a deer many years ago out when I was running. I thnk it is pretty cool you got to see wildlife from your own window. People pay good money to go on vacations to see this kind o stuff, but you live in a place where you can see it every day.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Julia, I do realize how lucky I am to be able to see the deer, although it doesn't really happen every day. It's just every once in a while.
