Final (non) Fiction Friday.
Today my FFF will be in the form of a poem to describe a most wonderful trek
Ode to Shelley Lake
by Cecilia 11/26/21@
On a trail near here
we often walk and talk.
No matter the time of year
Sunny or cloudy
the nature we see is dear.
The trail is an adventure
Lake residents are a delight
Ducks, geese, heron, turtles
oh my even a few
Cormorant are near
The most magical encounter it is clear
is when we see Deer.
is when we see Deer.
There are at least six deer living in the forest around Shelley Lake. On November 17, we spotted four doe in grazing in the thicket behind the buck.
The buck came to the edge of the path about 10' from us
The buck came to the edge of the path about 10' from us
He walked parallel to to us (the lady had no clue he was so close).
The looked back at us, the off he galloped over the asphalt to the dirt trail off into the woods.
amazing how he looked at this lady... we better should take a look back sometimes ;O) we love your lake shelley... it would be THE lace for the boys...
ReplyDeleteWe just love seeing deer in our yard......they come very close to the house and have no fear if we're in the yard with them. There's something magical about seeing a deer - these photos are GREAT !

I see an eye! I had to biggify though. That is a nice poem about Shelley Lake. We get a lot of deer here too. They were originally on a landowner's estate since the beginning of the 20th century and over the years some escaped and bred in the wild. There is now a wild herd of over 200 deer. Thankfully we have never had the complete herd come to visit us, just 2 or 3 at a time!

ReplyDeleteYes, I spy... and hoorah for your FFF this month which, combined with your NF offerings makes for a fabulous post!!! YAM xx
Good pictures. They must be pretty tame to get that close to people.
ReplyDeleteThose are great photos of the deer, and we love your Ode to Shelly Lake.
ReplyDeleteLily Rae did a pretty good job hiding but we can just see her!

Lily Rae ~ we almost, sort of, kind-a see you!
ReplyDeleteAh, our lovely deer, it seems they've become so acclimated in every suburban neighborhood now, they just wander as they please without any concern for we humans nearby. We've stolen all their land, and so they must now learn to live beside us and
accept our comings and goings ... some of us look upon them and treasure their beauty. Woe to those who see them as a bother.
The wildlife is just wonderful! We see you, Lily Rae, but just barely.
ReplyDeleteLily Rae sure found a great place to hide all snuggled in that comforter. We enjoyed your Ode to Shelley Lake. What a magical place for a walk.
ReplyDeleteMother Nature is so beautiful. Love that kitty. I can see you.
