A Deer!

Normally I'd never be so excited to see a deer in CT. I mean, it's like a petting zoo around here come fall when Mark puts out corn for them (yes, it's legal in zones 11 & 12 - the population is out of control).



They've been hiding out in the woods with their fawns for weeks. I was hoping this one would have a baby with her, but if she did, it was well hidden in the brush. She looked pretty thin to me - like she should eat a sammich or two.



She let Hobbes and I get check her out for quite some time while she licked up salt out of the stump before snorting loudly and bounding off.
