Friendly Deer

This fall a nice fellow was right outside our door nibbling on the orange tree.

This is probably the reason the orange tree hasn't grown very much yet.

He doesn't seem to mind the birds at all.

Then he moved to the tree with the orange berries that are supposed to be inedible.

Doesn't seem to care.

They must taste alright.

There Goes the Neighborhood!

This past Feburary we had an eagle visit the homestead. 

This past Saturday a Blue Heron came to visit.

It appeared as though the bird was trying to land in our small pond. It happens to be loaded with gold fishes right now. My dad thinks that's what may have brought him over to visit. I was in the greenhouse when he landed in the tree. He flew away when I went into the house to get the camera, but came back a short time later.

Either way, it was a beautiful sight and we welcome a return visit in the future.

He flew away when I tried to get a closer look.

See you later heron.

Do you have any exciting visitors at your place this time of year?
