| Mule deer doe and her two fawns September 2022 |
Imagine my surprise to look out my patio door and find this doe and her fawns nibbling berries off of the shrubs. This doe basically lives on the Grand Villa grounds. finding shelter on the eastern edge of the property near the privacy fence. That area provides her with protection, plenty of grazing, and access to water. I rarely see her near my apartment because it is next to two busy streets, but I'm glad she decided to share her family with me for a few minutes.
That is close! I see a mom and her babies from time to time out back but they never get this close if they see me. They do however snack on all my plants when I'm not looking.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. Something (birds?) have eaten all the berries off my winter berry bushes. My guess is it is going to be a COLD winter.
ReplyDeleteHow pretty they are.

ReplyDeleteSo pretty, are the deer a nuisance in the gardens?
ReplyDeleteThey are brave to come so close to your building. They are beautiful animals.
