Magical Visitors

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

everything in sun sparkles and she so beautiful

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...

It really is a blessing when creatures of nature feel safe enough to come close, let you watch, or, even more amazing, interact with you... let you feed them or even touch them.

It is a bittersweet thing for me. Because I want to tell them to be careful, that not all of my kind are nice, and some of them like to use trickery to try and harm them just out of maliciousness.

When I was at the UCSC campus, there were a lot of deer roaming around. The dorms are practically right in the forest. You have to walk through the forest to get to places. It's beautiful and wonderful, like something out of a movie.

So sweet..
Maybe animals can feel you are a good person. I think they can.

Ah, and not merely deer but red deer at that. How wonderful. :-)

They can be very inquisitive (and I did once have a whole herd run down a hill just next to me, which was slightly scary, though amazing!). But to get that close to you in only a small group you must exude a very peaceful atmosphere. Yay for you!

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. :-)
