NEW FAMILY MEMBERS

I just watched "The News" tonight and it talked about how the Austin area deer population is getting more aggressive. They showed some very disturbing videos.

My view of that topic (again probably political!) is that the deer population is just trying to take care of themselves, as we all are.

I have a mom and baby who have been in my backyard for a couple of months.  I'm pretty sure mom was here last year too, with another baby.

They help me with yard work.  They don't ask for towels.

Mom comes over and lays with baby a lot.  She is never far away.

I keep water out for them (I know not to feed them!!!)

They're not aggressive.  They just want their space.  And I let them have it.

I sit in my chair in the backyard, and they lay about 20 feet away. We just watch each other.

BUT, when I reach for my camera during those times, they run away.
Just like the rest of my family!!
