So let’s get on the bus.
Before we get too far, we need to check out this fawn and mother on my driveway.
Mama needs to do some bathtime chores.
Running to mom.
Speaking of fawn, here’s one that has been parked by its mother. This is usually okay, but the mom parked this little one on the front lawn in full view of everyone passing.
A close-up. The fawn is sound asleep.
A palm tree in bloom.
A field of wildflowers.
Here is beautiful artichoke agave that, because of the spring freeze, is shooting up a flower. This is usually before dying.
A small part of the herd having a stroll.
Here is a non-murdered crape myrtle blooming its heart out.
That is it for today. I hope you have a great week. Sit back and enjoy the food and music.

What a lovely walk. The deer are so precious. I know they eat some of the plants but I love them. Especially the fawns. The Eggs Sardou sound so good, I´m drooling. Happy Sunday to everyone at your house. xo

How lucky you were to see those fawns. We haven’t seen any yet. That one in the first two pictures looks like it had just been born: still somewhat staggering on its feet and the mama licking it.
Have a great Sunday,

You have a good eye. It was a newborn. I didn’t dare go out while mom was doing her business, so I had to take the shot through the window. The window and close up lense made it a little blurry.

I’ve got a feeling that a deer in your driveway activate the Twigmeister alarm system. Meanwhile, the deer have learned to coexist with humanity in your area. Good music choice!

Those are wonderful photos, John. We don’t see deer very often around here, so I appreciate your sharing the fawn. When you say the artichoke agave shoots up a bloom before dying, do you mean the whole plant is going to die?
As for breakfast, I’ll stick with simple simple omelette and a chocolate shake.
Have a great day.

Yes, once it blooms the mother plant dies. (Sad thing) I love your combo of a plain omelette and chocolate shake. Sounds good to me too. To be honest I would go for the shake by itself. Thanks, Dan

I LOVE New Orleans-style food, so pardon me while I pig out on that feast you’ve had prepared for us! *wiping Key Lime pie off my chin* I still marvel at all those deer lolling about your neighborhood. Doesn’t Twiggy or Lucy send up howls of rage at that?? I’m pretty sure Monkey would be spooked if he saw a deer on his driveway. Of course, to my knowledge, he’s never encountered one at all.

I still can’t get over the number of deer you have — and how wonderful to add that fawn to the herd. Another Austin friend found a fawn a few days back, plunked down in full view of everyone. His theory is that the deer have been around so long that they’ve learned they’re safe. I presume dogs are leashed there, and coyotes aren’t a problem.
