© Copyright 2009 FarmgirlFare.com, the quickly greening up foodie farm blog (another heatwave!) where the white-tailed deer don't need a St. Patrick's Day excuse to munch on their favorite color in the hayfield—which happens to be off limits after March 1st so the grass can grow, but only the domesticated animals pay attention to this rule (and only because we fence them out). But I'd rather have the deer in the hayfield than in the garden!
I love that first picture! So beautiful and priceless!

I know the deer can be a huge pest but they are so beautiful and graceful.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are lovely. I wish I held such thoughts about the deer. We have real problems with them. They are bandits. I have a friend who calls them rats with long legs.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your pictures, but especially the donkey pictures. When I lived in Bahia (North of Brazil) a boy with a little donkey (“jegue”) would come to our neighborhood to sell cashews. (The fruit from which the cashews you eat in the US come from are called “cajú” in Brazil; the cashews are just an appendix of the juicy "cajú"—kajooh: http://pinfotos.abril.com.br/busca/tags/comida/ee2b7fe2-c87c-4c72-9b9c-dee24d6b43c0/cajus) The donkey carried two baskets (called “caçuá”—kahsooah) on its back, full of cashews. I remember biting the fruits and sucking the sweet, pungent juice. Your farm seems like A LOT of fun! Milla
ReplyDeleteI get excited every time I see deer..just knowing they are wild! They are such tender spirits, so beautiful. Happy St. Patricks Day..hope you're wearing your green!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures! Today I pulled over on the highway to let 7 teenaged deer cross - it must be Spring Fever in deer country!
ReplyDeleteThey are so beautiful - we have 6 or 7 who wander through sometimes bed down in our back pasture. I try to keep the water trough full and know they are prey animals - but such beautiful animals - they were here long before us - wonder if they'll be here long after we're gone??
ReplyDeleteI just love all of your pictures. You are a talented photographer who captures the moment and emotion every time.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful picture the first one is!
ReplyDeleteThe deer pics are beautiful. Where do they go/find shelter in the winter?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous shots, but yes... the deer can be such varmints. Our little miniature schnauzer, Ragz Mae Growlngrrr, takes great joy in chasing them out of our roses, vegetables and orchard. Fortunately, they never stand their ground, and discover what false bravado it is that she exhibits.
