Pretty peaceful evening walk. The squirrels were especially playfully, and I saw numerous butterflies dancing on the breeze. I spied the head of a wild turkey as he moved through the scrub, as well as a gorgeous bluejay. Have seen no sign of the fox since a couple weeks ago. However, I did spy another denizen of the Arboretum as I walked back up a path towards the exit. Rounding a bend in the path I saw a rather noble, yet young creature...
Definitely made feeding the mosquitoes worth it!

Personally, I'm not a big fan of deer, though they do taste good. They tend to camp out in my mother's backyard a lot, and do a lot of damage to the garden.
Sure, Alice...ruin the moment. :-P~~~
LOL.
I know. They are so long-limbed as to have a kind of an ethereal quality. Seen from a distance or for short periods of time they are very appealing.
I'll try not to make any cracks about what a friend of mine calls, "rats on hooves." Yes, there are people out there with even stronger reactions than me.
We saw another young one on the way to work yesterday morning, crossing from the prairie at Dunn's Marsh (Seminole Hwy) to woods across the road. You do not want to know how many times I said something to the effect of "watch the deer!" while pointing her out before coworker driving finally listened and slowed to let her pass. So did NOT want to be in two accidents in one week.
And I'm ignoring the "rats on hooves" comment, although a gardening friend may occasionally be inclined to agree.
I love deer. I love to look at them AND to eat them. My parents get annoyed with them in summer with the whole "eating the garden" thing. But if weren't the deer it'd be some other wildlife. lol
I think that last pic is my favorite. hehehehe
Lalalala...I can't hear you! I am NOT a fan of venison. Yuck. I'd rather shoot my dear with a camera. ;)
