I love to look long-range too
along with the windblown grasses
as we nod our mutual approval
of a magnificent Virginia view.

A Virginia View
After foreboding clouds and thunder the air turned cool and dry and the sun lit up our mountain valley. I sat outside watching happy hummingbirds, butterflies, and the mother deer and her young ones.
We were all celebrating nature’s wondrous apology.
“Sorry ,” she said, “for the unrelenting heat wave and all the storms, humidity and heavy rains!
But here is a taste of autumn joy to come!”
Brave Bambi – One Out of Three

Yesterday we spotted a Mommy/Doe and her triplets! We passed them on our country road in a neighbor’s horse pasture.
I looked up and around and what did I see?
Three tiny rein-deer staring right back at me.*
And there they were, the Mom and her three fawns looking at us through the pasture fence.
They were startled by our car and quickly ran away, except for one.
A courageous baby remained to stare us down.
I call her Brave Bambi.
She and her siblings are so tiny (even though Bambi looks fairly large here), they actually resemble stuffed toy gifts for infant humans.
Note: The deer in Virginia are actually not “rein-deer.” Ours are white-tailed deer who live in meadows and forests, and have poor adaptations for snow, whereas reindeer live in cold areas and have special split hooves for walking on ice and snow. Both male and female reindeer also have antlers. In contrast, only the male of the species for White-tailed deer have antlers.
