WOW! bloody hell is right. These are amazing Dale. You should send them to a publication. I mean it, It’s like a family picnic where they all came for a cook-out.
Reminds me of an Emily Dickinson quote…a wounded deer, leaps the highest. 🙂

Thank you, Susannah. I encountered so many deer and at least two families with mom and twins. They took off so fast I barely had time to catch what I did (Didn’t think I should include the ones where Mom’s head or bum were cut off!)
So glad you like!

It’s hard to know they’re so hunted and wreck such alleged havoc with their ticks and all when they are Nature at her very best, and the part of her you captured so beautifully.

These ones are protected (and have become rather abundant as a result). I remember going to these islands and getting beyond excited to see one way off in the woods. Now? They are pretty much everywhere but still skittish around people.
So very glad you liked 🙂

Dear Dale,
Ooooooh myyyy (said in my best George Takei voice). I’m the one who is wordless. These are amazing. Yeah, I feel a painting coming on. 😉 (When I’m back home, of course).

Thank you, Monika. She was so fast, I had trouble centering and just kept my finger on the trigger, so to speak… as a result, a few have no head and others have no butt!
Baby deer are just the sweetest.

We see deer from time to time in our area, and just over the weekend we saw a couple of baby deer out and about. I am sure Mom wasn’t far behind. Over the years they’ve had to make way for construction and the like, but they still have a decent sized population throughout our region. And just like these pictures show when they decide to get going…they can go!

We have a series of islands between Montreal and the south shore that make up a national park. They are protected and, as a result, have grown in numbers. I remember getting excited to see one. Now? There are so many!

Sweet creatures, and I’m glad to see so many! The more we walk, the more we find!
Did 3 hours yesterday. I had to, it was our cool day this week. Only 28, 32 with the humidex.
It was like going for a walk in a cement sauna. I kept hoping no one would pour more water on the rocks.
Still recovering!

Lawzy. Cement sauna, for sure! I don’t think I would have gone 4.5 hours if the heat had been that bad. And thankfully it was in a park with lots of wooded areas so…
LOL! Love it. Still a sorceress, wet or dry 😉

Well, that’s not the same thing. We hunt different creatures 😉 Well, I do love to hunt your kind to, but it means crossing the bridge and dealing with parking and whatnot so I really have to be in the mood! I don’t usually go on the weekends because it is way too peoply! I was frankly surprised I found the paths less followed when I went.

I think these beautiful creatures could teach celebrities a thing or two about how to keep a safe distance from the paparazzi.
Love the gallery of scooting and hollering on a not so wordless Wednesday.

Very much so. We must do better when it comes to all God’s creatures, and that goes doubly for the ones who can’t speak for themselves.

Protected only means so much. Especially when you consider the crush of development that takes place all around them.
