Dearest Nature Trail
Walking along the nature trail
? Over the creek and through the woods… and? grandmother lives in Milwaukee, wanna fight about it?
? Bridge goes over creek
? What is this I see?? ? Six deer in the grass by the nature trail.? This mini woods is in the middle of the city and surrounded by houses and buildings on all sides.? I would have expected to see homeless hanging out here (like by Gray’s Lake) more than deer.
? Oh, you see me too?? I was real careful not to make any sudden movements.? These young deer were so urbanized they not only hung out beside us two for 10 minutes, but a couple of them almost walked right up to us.
? Let’s get a move on.? The horny deer furthest to the right tries to mount the one ahead of it.
Each deer looks and pauses before crossing.? Smart.
? The deer run through the field along the trail up towards the busy street.? I’m not sure where they went or if they crossed, but I didn’t see any blood in the street the next day.
? Evening bike ride
? Gorgeous sunset
? Bare tree with many missing limbs from the ice storm
They’ve been running around the area lately, getting more confident with all things human created. We saw a few of them once again in a nearby parking lot. Unfortunately we just saw a young deer dead off the side of the road early this week. Hopefully either the rest learned a lesson or animal control will drop them off outside the city.
