Deer at Beauview April 2, 2011

I have seen Deer on the lake and at the side of the road but this is the first time this year that I've seen them come onto our property.

I saw my first robin yesterday. I have seen Canada Geese on the lake ice wondering why it hasn't melted yet! (last year it melted early) Chipmunks have scurried around outside the cottages. A fox ran across the road in front of me on Brunel Road.

...Lots of wildlife and birds to see at this time of year. Some snow in the background makes a great photo opportunity and there's no leaves on the trees to block your view.

Deer outside our window

With a picture window overlooking the lake, we look out our window all the time. Just outside our window, blending in was a deer at rest, enjoying the afternoon in the sun. Normally we don't see deer resting as they are always seem to be on high alert, but today she was probably pretty tired after enduring the rain and snow of the last few days.

Laying in the leaves, eating some new green grass, under the sun, must have felt like heaven!
