| Mama Deer taking off --running up the street!!! |
On 8/14/12 at about 5 pm, George took some trash out to the garage... He came running back inside telling me to get the camera. There were FIVE deer (a mama and 4 fawns) VERY close to our mailbox in the front yard!!!!!! YIPES----if we hadn't have seen them, and if they hadn't have seen us----they may have enjoyed our gorgeous roses.... Like I said, too close for comfort!!!!!! BUT---we saw them and they saw us! Mama immediately took off up the street to the empty lot on the other side of the road. The little ones followed her. HOWEVER, I did manage to get some great photos of them --so I'm sharing them with you today!!! Be sure to click on them to enlarge them!!!

| Fawn #1--prancing up the street after Mama (Look at that tail!) |
 |
| Look how close they were to some of our ROSES!!!! Yipes!!! |
 |
| Another fawn--trying to catch up to Mom!!!! |
 |
| I love this photo of two of them prancing together headed up the street toward Mama! |
 |
| This little one was lagging behind... He is in our yard. See our mailbox????? |
 |
| I could hear him saying: "HEY--Wait for Me!!" |
 |
| "I'm trying to catch up... I REALLY am!" (Isn't there always one child who lags behind?) |
Hope you enjoyed seeing these beautiful critters.... We love them ---but do NOT want them eating our flowers or plants... As long as they stay away from them, they will be on my "Favorite Wildlife" list.... IF and WHEN they eat something in our yard, they will no longer be on that list!!!!!! ha
Hope you had a wonderful weekend. We certainly did!!! We went to Georgia on Friday and did some hiking --searching for new waterfalls. We saw 3 on Friday. Then, on Saturday, we visited Cupid Falls (which we had seen before) --and while I attended my sweet almost-daughter-in-law's bridal shower, George found three more waterfalls, two new ones and one we had seen previously... SO---when it comes to waterfalls, we saw 7 waterfalls this weekend ---with 5 of them being NEW to us!!!!!!
The shower was great ---and Dawn and Jeff got LOTS of beautiful gifts... She got so much that it was hard getting all of it into her SUV..... My son, Jeff, is so blessed to have Dawn in his life! The wedding is in October.
Have a fabulous Monday!
Hugs,
Betsy
