Today we are going to check out four new bronzes that have been installed in Lakeway. Also, since this rutting season is here I thought you would like to see some photos of the bucks. They are everywhere and usually, they are out of sight. We are being catered by Cavalier in Austin and our entertainment is Carole King, Shania Twain, Gloria Estefan, and Celene Dion. (budget buster).
So let’s get on the bus.
Our first bronze is the new sign for Lakeway.
Here is the old sign for your reference.
Our first buck is one with determination.
Our next bronze is a family of elk placed out in front of city hall.
This is a fellow who has tangled with a bush and has has lost his sense of humor. He does have part of the bush in his antlers for a reminder.
This guy came up the drive at our house.
He seems a little put out that I’m not a doe.
The next bronze is to honor the heron outside the Tennis center.
This doe is not taking any chances. One look and she is off.
Our final bronze is in the courtyard of the Activies Center. I asked it to smile and all I got was “Wwwwhat?”
Enjoy the music and food and I hope you have a super week.

The new Lakeway sign looks great! I’ll have to show my dad these bucks…he’ll enjoy them. Have a peaceful Sunday, John.

The chicken and waffles looked good, but I grabbed a couple biscuits so I could walk along with you, John. Great collection today. The photos are excellent. I guess the deer know they’re protected in your driveway…unless Twiggy catches sight of them.
I hope you are having a great weekend.

Not to be Cavalier (pub) about this, but the bucks are not stopping here. Seriously, they have the run of the place to such a degree, all they’re missing is a real estate agent. I love that.
As for the tune, I had not heard this one before. What a grouping!

I got a kick out of some of the items on the menu (and the prices aren’t bad, either!) The bronzes are beautiful.
We have a birth control program in place for deer. The locals feel they ruin the yards and create a danger to walkers.

So glad I found a few extra minutes to swing by here today to catch your Neighborhood post. I just love these, and was not happy that I’d missed it yesterday. But I’m pretty sure I couldn’t have enjoyed it more than I did just now. What a wonderful neighborhood you live it. The bronzes were all fun, but those BUCKS!! I can’t imagine having them wandering through an area like that. Even my friends who live in the country don’t see that many. They are so beautiful!
Thanks for sharing the pics, John, and I’m hoping that I’m better able to keep up with all my favorite blogs in 2022 than I have been this year!
