3 Young Bucks

The other day, early in the morning I was out watering the yard and I saw 3 beautiful young bucks walking down the street. I was hoping to get some nice close-up shots of them to blog but when one of them spotted me they stopped dead in their tracks.

Apparently my presence wasn’t enough to stop them from walking over to check out whether or not my yard had anything they might find edible.

Luckily for me, they don’t like bougainvilleas!

I guess you’ll have to take my word for it when I say there were 3 bucks since I only captured 2 of them in my photos!

A Deer Post

These are a couple of deer I spotted up in the Sierra Madre canyon on one of my early morning walks. In the first photo they’re eating a lovely purple plant in someone's yard... luckily I haven't had any problems with deer eating my plants but that’s probably because we live below the canyon and the deer usually don't come down from the canyon too often.

On occasion they do visit searching for food when it’s really hot. I’ll spot them across the street in the settling ponds standing under the big oak trees chewing on plants. I love to watch them and of course I always try to get a snapshot of them if possible. They usually ignore me and go about their business or they move to another spot where they can't be seen.
