Fishhawk Lake Estates Early Morning Visit
I happened to walk by my window in our "Lake room" which is our main living area facing Fishhawk Lake, about 5:30 in the morning on the first of July, when I saw this lovely lady, a Black-tailed deer, munching the grass in my next door neighbor's yard. Because we have dogs, I don't get to see this often. Deer seem to know when you have dogs, probably because of the smell, and they don't come around our place much. I quietly got my camera and shot through the window. She didn't seem to be bothered by me.
The dark blue of the lake was in the background. It wasn't long before our Goldens knew something was up and came out where I was. She saw the movement, looked a bit startled and then she took off after only a few photos.
(She kind of looks like one of those fake deer statues people put in their yards! I was bummed that she wasn't as clear in this photo.) Black-tailed deer are prevalent around these parts and it's always a delight to see one or two while I'm showing property to clients. They were first spotted in Oregon during the Lewis and Clark expedition in the early 1800s.
I 've been seeing her everywhere around the lake in the last month and others have spotted her, too. Maybe she's looking to buy a home??
