Deer spotting

I was out on one of my walks the other day and ran into 3 deer grazing in somebody's yard. I was awe struck to see these beautiful creatures in the neighborhood. I hurried to take a quick photo as they kept a watchful eye on me. Of course they kept moving away as I tried to get closer, so this is the best I could do. It almost seemed like their steps matched mine in the opposite direction.

It's hard for me not to imagine what they were thinking, just minding their business as this human approaches.
Deer #1: "uh, Larry? Larry! We have a problem."
Deer #2: "What? (he looks up) Oh dear, . . . okay . . . it's okay . . . we are just going to slowly walk back up the hill. Now I only want you to move when she does. Okay? Everybody with me? Here she comes. Just a few steps at a time."
Deer #3: "She doesn't look threatening."
Deer #2: "Dang it Marvin, don't flirt with danger. Listen to me or you'll be hanging over her mantle!"

That's a hoot. the inner dialog of a deer, never thought of that before.
Who knows, maybe to them, you DO look threatening. Just not to humans. JK

I love it...
They were probably thinking...
"I can take the tall blonde...I am just worried about the little one in the stroller!"

Reading your blog reminds me so much of why I love you. You are a hilarious little deer narrator. What did Baby J think of the deer?

Jackson probably thought they were dogs; that's his default animal when in doubt. If he doesn't know for sure, everything is "woof woof".
