First up is a song sparrow belting out his intricate song by the lake.
He didn't seem to mind me being so close. I wonder what they are trying to communicate with their constant singing?
Down at the lake a baby turtle was taking a sun bath. I had to take this from across the lake as the babies tend to leap into the water if you get too close.
Up on the hills next to the lake I noticed a large tame deer eating everything in sight.
At first it seemed a bit concerned about me but then went back to feasting.
Back to work searching for specific greens to eat.
And another cautious glance in my direction.
I rarely get photos of deer with antlers so here is an older photo I got around dusk of a young buck in the woods. Looks a bit creepy with the flash in his eyes.
Happy 4th of July :-)
hahahaha you're like the pied piper of animals!!! hehehehe
they all let you get so close!!! awesome shots :)
I wish I had powers to make them come even closer so I could get clearer shots.
heheheeh well they seem like VERY clear to me!!!! hahahaha
maybe grab a salt lick for the deer! LOLOL
we used to wake up to about 20 deer on our front lawn everyday. they were so used to us - they barely moved if we walked past ahahahahaha
turkeys too.
bobcats were skittish.
the mountain lions used to come up to the back porch to eat our cat food that we left out for our 3 outdoor cats hahahaha the only thing we saw of them was their pawprints in the snow LOL
the only animal that i wished WOULD stay away... far far away... were the skunks that ALWAYS would spray RIGHT outside our window and wake me up out of a dead sleep.
skunk spray is foul - but when its THAT CLOSE to you??? oh my gosh. It's unreal. You can't get away from it - and you can't get used to it!
You know how most other smells - if you inhale deeply a few times - you'll start to go nosedeaf to it???? nope. hours of sleeplessness because of that darn skunk! hahahahahah
Funny you mention skunks I just got back from a night walk and a whole family of them literally walked under my feet. I'll post a video of it on 3speak soon and tag you in it. One of the babies even stopped to sniff my fiance's shoe. Thankfully we aren't taking tomato soup baths right now.
