Wildlife in everyday life....

Deer in the woods outside the office at ArrowheadI heard a voice call from the break room as I was breaking my stuff down, readying to go home for the day..."If anyone wants to see them, there are some deer down by the feeder in the woods!" Our group of folks who remained in office at 5:30 in the evening dutifully flocked to the large windows that wrap around two of the four walls of the break room. The effort was rewarded with the sight of FOUR female or younger deer grazing in the low brush and eating some of the seed from on the ground under a bird feeder a little distance from our part of the building. The deer moved relatively close to the building, although after a few minutes a noise grabbed their attention and they moved quickly back into the cover of the more dense bushes. The photo above is one of the good ones, and there are some new ones in the "Flcker" album, right.

As we were watching the deer leisurely strolling outside, one of the folks in the room said sadly, "This is something I will really miss when we move..." It's true...the building here is nestled in a very nice area with trees all around...although the new location has a park very close by as well as a creek. It will be interesting to see how everything shakes out as we move....it was nice to have this ramdom experience today though....makes us appreciate the time we have left here...

Hope you are staying warm and well....more later..till then, much love to you...
