OH DEER !!

As if by magic, they appeared. Quietly and softly they emerged from the woods. There were five of them. They were very busy eating anything that might have, at one time, been something green. Now, all they can find are dry twigs. They look well fed however. We moved slowly inside the house, from window to window with the camera. Using the zoom makes for some fuzziness but you can see how absolutely beautiful they are! They would raise their heads and look straight at us. Or so it seemed. Eventually they headed up the hill, gracefully jumping over snow covered bushes, totally effortless in their movements. I hope they come back soon.

How blessed you are to see them in your own front yard. Just another reason to be glad you came 'home to PA'.
