IT REALLY HAS SPRUNG . . . . . . .

I saw this scene when I looked out my

kitchen window - a long shot that they would

still be there by the time I got the camera.

A bit closer. I really know that spring has

sprung when I see this years herd in

my pasture.

They seem to have jumped thru one of the

bars of the riding ring. Guess they were anxious

to get to the grass.

This is a scene that makes me very happy. In the herd that frequents my pasture, there are usually 12 deer. I often see several does and their young but I have only seen the buck twice. He is a really big fellow with a nice rack, that stands off from the does and young, always on alert. These deer arrived just before the Lady Moon did her beautiful display. It never ceases to amaze me just how intelligent the animals are. They always seem to know what mother nature is doing and always warn of storms and unusual weather.

Hope you are enjoying this little big of spring that we are having.
