Oh deer.

There a ton of deer of deer in our area.  A ton.  I happened to look out into the backyard one morning last  week and saw 3 of them grazing.  I don't see them in our backyard too often, but I suspect it's because I just don't notice them.  I'm not sure if I would have noticed these either if it wasn't for Baloo and his intent focus on them.

This little guy came right up to the smoker.  Although these deer were somewhat cautious they obviously did not feel threatened by my presence.

Eating there way through our yard.

Where else do I see deer?  Every time I run outside at the gym, I see at least one.  I also typically see at least one while driving home from the gym.  One night last week I saw 8 of them within a few miles of leaving the gym.  There's also an empty lot near us with a wooded border that is often filled with them.  Thankfully, they seem to be more interested in grazing than in running into traffic.
