Magical Visitors

looking up from my laptop...to see a magical visitor outside my window:)
deerwindow

everything in sun sparkles and she so beautiful
deervisitor

I opened the window and we stared at eachother. She even took 2 steps closer sort of inquisitively! I hummed soothingly...and spent a nice time gazing as she walked aound the yard.

It took me a long while before I even noticed she was not alone.! After a while more they crept out of the yard into the woods. I felt very blessed by the visit. Later I went to paint in the studio...and returned just now to upload these pics. As I did -out of the corner of my eye I saw flashes of white in the yard...I thought it was a seagull flying?? But as I went to see clearer it was the deer who had returned...running in CIRCLES and returning to her friend and running again in a cicle, playing in the center of the yard...white tail catching the light. (!!) I could not get the camera...I was too astonished. It was as if she wanted attention? I opened the window and talked to them for a while....*sigh* it's all so magical to me...

I was under a misconception about where you live. I just thought, "New York City". Now when I try to picture you working I will see deer running around. :-)

hehe. yeah, a lot of folks naturally think of NYC...but I'm far out on long island...bays and fields and small towns. Suits me better. I love the energy of the city...but only to visit, I'm easily overwhelmed......for everyday I love quiet and green and cricketsong...slower pace.

Just like me an Toronto, which I love to visit. Unfortunately where I live isn't quite as bucolic as your place sounds. I would love to live in the country again.

unfortunately, like many places, it's threatened by suburban/exurban sprawl....farms/fields being bought out to subdivide into McMansions, highways expanding, etc. It's such a big issue (a lot of what my Cyburbia artwork series was taking a look at)..As I guiltily love it here and can't blame anyone else for wanting to move out of the city...I'm trying to look at patterns and possible solutions....Hoping to help bring awareness to some smartgrowth (http://www.smartgrowth.org/about/default.asp) possibilities...
