All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

Young deer, tried stopping by my lilies for a snack! I took this picture through the window but accidentally left the flash on from the last pic taken... This is the moment the deer noticed me - it didn't bolt until I started opening the door! (and it didn't seem to get any of the lilies... this time)
Two deer wandered through the yards on my street on the 4th of July. Poor things were probably scared by the fireworks, just like my pups were. They must not have stayed upset though, because they were calm enough to eat all my gladiolus blooms! lol! I didn't mind :)
Have you thought about putting up a feeder (if local regulations allow it)? They're beautiful creatures, had family in West Virginia, way up in the boonies, the fawns are extremely cute.
I think it's important to note this will up your backyard tick count exponentially
Forgot about the ticks hahaha, got them once or twice as a kid then decided to just preemptively use all the products when we would visit.
They had a huge plot of land though so I doubt they were worried about adding more ticks.
