Looking together in the same direction.

Looking together in the same direction.
Sea otters hold hands while they sleep so they don't drift apart.

Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."

Flowers for breakfast

     This is not a great picture, but it shows a couple of bucks just a few yards away from my dog and me.  They are calmly and placidly eating all my neighbor's flowers.  He spends hours on his flowerbeds and has been doing battle (and losing) with the deer for 19 years.  I have concluded that the deer are as ornamental as the flowers, if not more so.
      The picture also shows that their velveted antlers are getting to be something to be reckoned with, which might explain their lack of fear of me and my big doofus dog.
