Nature Walks – Oh Deer! – A Jeanne in the Kitchen

I am so blessed and lucky to live where I do. Even in the “burbs”, we are surrounded by nature and all kinds of wildlife. I am always excited when I see the wildlife. But yesterday, OMG!!!! That excitement was elevated by a factor of about 10+.

I always hope to see deer, or elk, or maybe even a moose, when we are up in the mountains, but I NEVER expected to see deer a mile away from my house. And not just one deer, but two. WHOOOOO HOOOOOO!!!

I was walking along the trail at Metzger Farm, when I saw two very large ears way off in the distance. I thought my eyes were deceiving me, so I zoomed in as much as I could with my camera. I couldn’t believe it. I saw not one, but two white tailed mule deer. I apologize for the graininess and mediocre quality of the pictures, but the deer were at least 150-200 yards away. At least I got them though.

Life is great. It is always full of surprises. You just never know what to expect. Make the most out of every chance you get.
