The Deer Roam in Town

deer 1

deer 25A couple of weeks ago, about noon, my husband came into the house and said, "hurry grab your camera and come with me".  Just a block away from our house, right in the middle of town, we saw seven very contented deer.  Five bucks and two does.  I took many pictures of them.  They were resting in the yard of a vacant home.  The pictures above face towards the vacant home.  The pictures below point towards the very nicely cared for home.  We have a home where the "deer and the buffalo roam"  The deer roam in town, the buffalo roam at Wind Cave National Park about ten miles of town.  The seven deer refused to pose, but didn't mind my taking their pictures.

  1. Great photos. I remember visiting our daughter in Victoria, BC and there was a deer that came every morning to visit the house across the road.

  2. Great! I wish I have deers in my backyard. The only place I can see them is in the zoo.

  3. They are much more fun to watch in someone else's garden than in your own, I find. Our close-in Austin neighborhood is plagued with deer that graze in the front yards every evening. Luckily, my back yard is fenced well enough that they don't come in, so I have some deer-free gardening space.

  5. Gloria, those are some great deer photos! We have deer roaming around in our backyard all the time, and we live in the city. They love hostas and sedums, as well as the young branches on our fruit trees. They don't like lavender, but they walked right over it to mow down some comfrey.
