Apparently, the deer who live in this park by the beach, on the western end of Fire Island, also decided to come out and enjoy the weather. Some of the people had brought food (apples, carrots, etc.) for the deer (despite signs asking that people not feed them), and I guess the word had gotten around the deer community.
With the deer being friendly today, I didn't even need a telephoto lens to get a few decent shots...
The real reason the deer came close to us (no, we didn't feed them)
My lovely companions
By the way, both of the people in that last photo are wonderful singers. I knew Marc could sing, but I didn't realize that Deidre had such great pipes! Wow!
I still can't believe I was belting out Babs tunes in your kitchen. That's one for the ages!
ReplyDeleteI am going to keep to myself what would have happened to those pretty little deer had they been spotted in Kentucky. Of course, *I* don't participate in those activities. Anymore.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful weekend! Hi Diedre and Marc!
ReplyDeleteI thought that deers were afraid of humans, but apparently those ones aren't. Nice photos!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable, the deer and the companions.
ReplyDeleteYou get the best houseguests! And I think I have those same sunglasses. 8-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots.
ReplyDeleteAs I remember, the deer on Fire Island are so numerous and so "tame" that they've become a major problem, destroying gardens and defoliating a lot of the island.
ReplyDeleteBut they look so sweet in yout pictures.
What pretty pictures of the wild deer and what pretty pictures of the wild dears.
ReplyDeleteMore bloggin' friends! Nice deer pics too
