Deer in the Garden
October 2016 Near Lake Michigan in Fennville
“In wildness is the preservation of the world.”
The deer are not very afraid of me any more. They let me get close or try to scare me away now. Sometimes a mother will screech and stomp her foot at me. I don't hang around when she does! I never get tired of seeing them around our house.
Startled Rabbit
Think I surprised this rabbit when I came by early in the morning. He paused long enough for me to get a few pictures, which they usually don't do when I'm this close.
