(The Preserve behind our house during the summer.)We have some new things to be thankful for this year. One of these things is being able to enjoy nature from the comfort of our home.
About Three weeks ago we looked out our kitchen window and noticed three deer bedded down in the long grass bathing in the morning sun. Shortly thereafter we spotted a young buck and doe in the same place. We also had the pleasure of watching a red fox hunt in the long grass (but not with the deer of course!) Click on the pictures to make them bigger so you can see the deer more easily.
Then it snowed all day Sunday and created a beautiful winter wonderland. The snow gradually melted from most of our lawn but remained frozen to the Preserve forcing the deer to search for food outside their safe habitat. It was Monday when we noticed three deer on our lawn, one of which walked right by our fence and the length of our lawn, not even becoming alarm when we ventured on to the back deck for a closer peek. Hope you enjoy the pictures!
