Oh deer.... (yeah, bad pun)

Some deer in the backyard.

Aren't they just about the most beautiful animals on the planet?

Oh yeah, and nice to see live ones and not bits ;)

Glad it wasn't a 'he'. They tend to snort and bang their hooves into the ground ;)

They're watching you!!!!! At least they aren't in pieces!

Although a buck would have been cool, too, but then there would have been no fawns around...

Ha! Yeah, they're alive and not scattered across the yard ;) they're quite cute, as is the bunny, which ate ALL the lettuce in the garden. Oh well, that'll teach me to not shut the gate... of course, maybe it was the big leopard slug. They ravage gardens, too.

It makes me sad that people shoot them... or that they get on the roads...

And they're not zombie deer!

Yet.

Curious little things arent' they? Beautiful. As for the lettuce, I am just jealous of fresh home grown veggie. Summer was terrible here this year, and I just couldn't take the heat long enough to plant anything.

[identity profile] wraithfodder.livejournal.com 2008-08-09 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
yup!

[identity profile] wraithfodder.livejournal.com 2008-08-09 01:32 pm (UTC)(link)
well, the lettuce was awful bitter (heat) so, it wasn't so bad losing it. however, it ticks me off the squash plants have only give me two squashes !

If people didn't build up so many macmansions, knock down so many trees, and get rid of natural predators, there wouldn't be an overload of deer. yeah, I see 'em hit by cars all the time. squirrels more so.

Wow! They're keeping their eyes on you, though: never turn your back on a human.

I love how they are watching you watching them. Such beautiful graceful animals.

Awwww! They're so cute. We used to get lots of deer running through my neighborhood, but now, it's all been converted into housing, so their appearances happen a lot less often. :(

Beautiful! And so calm about being filmed!

You're lucky to have such visitors.

Well, my neighbors would say otherwise, but I don't mind 'em.

[identity profile] alyssa22.livejournal.com 2008-08-11 10:02 pm (UTC)(link)
True. The McMansions are a major problem, over here as well as over there. And they're ugly!!!

[identity profile] wraithfodder.livejournal.com 2008-08-11 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
Ugly, energy guzzlers, huge carbon footprint, etc, and why do 2-4 people need a house with 30 rooms??

Exactly.

Meanwhile, on the roads, I've spotted some of those godforsaken Hummers. WTH? Australians don't drive cars like that. It's ridiculous. I don't know why it's happening suddenly. There aren't a lot of them, but there's one down the street from me and I've seen a few others around.

We've generally driven smallish cars here, the largest being a 4WD. Those things are just monstrosities!

By the way, I watched something about a man who lives with bears in Alaska the other night. Amazing stuff. Beautiful bears.

Wonders what your John and Rodney af's would have thought of the giant space deers.

Ah, the lazy AFs were lounging around on the chair upstairs when the bambis came through the yard... ;)

Hummers are just a waste in general, except for military applications. Otherwise, anybody driving them in civilian life is just stupid.

Well the next time the deer are around get their butts outside and see what happens.

[identity profile] wraithfodder.livejournal.com 2008-08-15 01:33 am (UTC)(link)
I'll try! ;)
