You know how I made fun of SuperGuy for his tree cutting escapades? I guess I shouldn’t have complained…
Because the tree branches made tasty treats for this very hungry baby deer! (and WHERE is its Momma???)
I think the deer are so pretty. Except in the spring when they eat all my tulips!! :wallbash:
Anyway, I’m not so aggravated with SuperGuy now, because I got some great shots of the deer. Now if they’d just come earlier in the evening when it’s a bit brighter out so I can get clearer photos!

Once upon a time there was a cute little deer. He was a bit confused and liked to eat at the bird feeder.
He really liked bird seed. Who knew?
Well, not as much as the Easter Eggs that he gets to eat after the crazy humans use the sling shot to shoot the eggs back into the woods, but a deer can’t have Easter more than once a year. Sigh.
“What are you staring at, Lady? I’m not afraid of you and that black thing you always have in front of your face…clicking away at me. Not nearly as scarey as those loud booming things those men with the orange hats carry around with them.”
“Wait! I hear something….”
“Nah, it wasn’t anything. I’ll go back to eating. But, Lady, hard boiled eggs would be good about now. Or remember the time the male humans shot the cinnamon rolls you overcooked out into the woods? Those were good too. We deer like variety, you know.”
“Oh, I did hear something. It was my little friend, the baby deer. Well, she doesn’t eat much. I’ll share.”
“Oh. My. Gosh. (ding dang diddly!!) Where did all these deer come from?? I was here first!!”
“Sigh. Fine, I’ll just leave then. They ate up all the good stuff. I’ll have to sneak back later after the lady’s husband fills up the feeder again. Those silly birds always dump a lot of seed on the ground when he first fills up the feeder.”
“Oh, and Lady? I still see you there with your clicky black thingie. Maybe you could stand up and scare away all those other deer?”
…and they all lived happily ever after when big male human put out a salt block and more bird seed. Luckily the lady once again ruined the cinnamon rolls so all the deer were very well fed after an afternoon of sling shot madness.

You know those darling, soulful deer eyes? How wonderful and moving it is to watch these creatures? The whole nature that takes your breath away?
Well, there is also this….
Don’t tell SuperGuy, but it appears they are going after his zinnias. The ones that took until fall to bloom this year! (what’s up with that??)
I do enjoy the deer in the backyard, but they really do munch down on the flowers. Interesting fact…they love tulips. They leave the daffodils alone. Who knew? I guess it’s oaky to sacrifice the flowers for the ability to get shots like this though:
Don’t let this shy guy, hiding in the woods, fool you. He’s after the flowers too…

Shelly at This Eclectic Life is having a contest. Free concert tickets to go see Celtic Thunder. Go see the info on the contest here. Shelly mentioned this group on a post on her blog awhile back. I then went out on YouTube searching for them and also saw them on PBS. They have fantastic voices! Now, I would LOVE to win her contest..but they are going to be in my city when I’m actually going to be out of town! Not fair. But hop over there and see if any of you can get lucky! Always willing to pass along the neat things I find when I’m out blog hopping. (I love her blog too, she’s the GREATEST story teller. Honest. Would I steer you wrong??)
Have a GREAT weekend, everyone. It’s supposed to be sunny and in the 80’s here! Wow. In October. Ding dang diddly I love the midwest this fall!
