At midday today in Red Hook I got up for a break, looked out my window and very close to the
house were several deer. I was rather surprised to see them at that time of the
day so I grab the camera.
How cute, I thought!
The warm fuzzy feeling did not last very long because the deer moved into my garden, so
I hurried outside to send them packing.
My garden is fenced. It's not the most aesthetically pleasing solution, but it keeps the deer out and my plants growing.
Randy - That was a common scene on my commuting route certain time of the year. Sometimes I was trying to get around the dead animals without looking. This was gross
Jonathan- No kidding there are many who would see it that way.
Joseph - I still remember my encounter with one of these creatures. It came from out of nowhere and hit me before I even had time to break. You cam imagine the damage, the worst was when I got home there was still a piece hanging from under the hood. I get a chill still thinking about it.
Rosario - I don't want to have a fence put I want to have healthy plants, I guest the deer are tell me i can't have it all.
Derrick - I agree the shots could be a perfect post card. The deer could continue to roam on my property as long as they avoided my garden, that's too much to expect.
Laurie - That is a trend I have noticed maybe in the last 10 years, they stand their and stare at you or ignore your presence. The ones in the photo went running because I yelled.
Jeffrey - I don't feed them yet I can look out and there are a dozen deer. Your children love them but be very careful of Lyme disease , I know how I spent last January with a pic line in my arm.
Jennifer,
Those are some great photo's and I agree that they would make great post cards! They must know where the good food is located!!! Have a great New Year!
Sorry, they are cute, but in these parts they are good eating. We had over 12 feet of snow last winter and the deer winter kill was so sad. I don't feel guilty for the five that hit the freezer. I'm a gardener too, so I love to watch deer, just not on my land.
Jim - I feel the same about the very sad wildlife.
Maureen - You have to be very careful with the children, if you have pets they can also bring in the ticks. Lyme disease is serious business.
Stephen- the problem here is that sometime you don't see them, the collision happens before you had time to react.
Ray - Yes my Boxwood which I was told they were not suppose eat.,
Diane - You are right, I used them in a virtual card I sent to someone.
Debbie - When there is a severe winter many of them die from lack of food.
