Just looked out and there are two deer noshing on the seed from my "squirrel proof" feeder..

LOL!
Wondered how I could be going through nearly 40 pounds of seed a week....! I put a chicken wire fence loop around the feeders in the orchard to keep the deer away, but never suspected they could finagle the squirrel proof feeder by the driveway!

They are truly beautiful beasts tho, lovely does!

Just thought I'ld share my moment of zen! :grouphug:

1. But isn't nice how they leave the deer-proof ones alone? nt

3. I always brag to my husband when I see them grazing on the side

of the road. I hate that that is where they graze, but I still love to see them when I can!

4. I know what you mean!

we are lucky - a small herd live in our forest and I am delighted whenever I see them! in the early morning, around sunrise sometimes I catch a glimpse as they wander up the trail from the stream and in the late afternoon or early evening they seem to retrace their steps back again.

Beautiful creatures, and so graceful! It always feels like a gift to catch sight of them! :hi:

7. I went to my friend's cabin in the country a year ago

(actually the weekend Katrina hit) but, we saw a group of deer grazing. One of the deer was completely white! Gorgeous! Albino deer! It blew me away. I wish we had a camera because we were all blown away! I know they aren't so uncommon, but we had never seen one! He/she really stood out in the group.

5. My dear peacebird.........

Sometime I'd love to see you post a picture of them noshing.....

:hi:

8. I'll try to get a picture.... (how do you post a photo?)

9. (..trying to post a photo of our forest in the springtime... sorry - daytime, so no deer...)

but you can see down to the river at least! scroll to the right to see all the dogwood and redbud!
How can I "size" a photo to make it show up all on the screen, not have to scroll to see it?

11. If you're using photobucket...

There's an edit option, where you can resize the picture, so when you post it here, it won't be so giant that you have to scroll.
