I enjoyed the deer pictures very much. The song took this post over the top. Fits with the weekend we’re having. Our PoPo is “downsizing” preparing to meet his maker. At least that’s what he’s saying. Dear time 💝 a precious gift.

Curious if the deer help with maintaining certain aspects of the environment. I know out east from me, people complain about them eating bushes and lawns.
LikeLiked by 1 person
We pretty much keep the plants and bushes in varieties that they don’t care for. Yes, they do graze on the lawns but cause very little damage.

The deer are lovely – how do you keep them from overpopulating? Do people feed them? Are they pretty tame?
That red fish looks very good!

The deer go through a life cycle where the old ones die, and sadly, some fawns get killed and eaten by coyotes. There is a balance. Some people feed them corn, which is very bad for them. It stifles appetite and has little nutritional value. We feed them a small amount of carrots.

I love seeing all these gorgeous deer — especially “The boss” — in your neighborhood, John. It amazes me to no end to see how calm they appear. Watchful, to be sure, but not like they’re ready to bolt. Of course, I didn’t see any herding dogs in the photos either!

They are so beautiful. I loved the Buck with its backlit antlers glowing in the sunlight, and seeing all the young bucks with their new antler covered in velvet. The Fawns…so, so sweet. I love their spots!

I’ll go with the prime rib, but the smaller portion.
