And here is the deer at the pond in my mother's front yard. The deer have taken up squatting rights in my folks yard. I know deer do wander in out of the woods here in Pacific Northwest, and we see them all the time out here in the rural country where we live. But I am truly awestruck by how the deer, with compelling reason as they have been displaced by housing construction in my mother's neighborhood, have taken up residence in her yard.
