Hartthrob

Last Saturday, thunder posted a great portrait of a local stag. That very day, I was fortunate enough to get close to one of the "townies" living near my workplace:




Now that's a handsome hart, a hartthrob, if you will. How about a profile shot?




This deer was hanging out in an old orchard, full of cherry, pear, and apple trees, along with one single quince tree. It's a popular spot:




Like most popular spots, sometimes you have to share it with turkeys:




Things are going okay right now, but there may be some tension when the apples and pears ripen... there's usually a lot of acrimony when it comes time to divvy up the fall apple haul. I'm already trying to convince the stag to leave the site by introducing her to a cutie that lives up the road.

  2. Such beautiful creatures. I saw a stag last year while staying on a farm, surrounded by all his ladies, showing off his horns, he was quite a sight.

  3. Liberals, always cramming S-E-X down everyone's throat. At least let the animals be innocent!

    Thanks! This stag isn't that shy- probably because he doesn't want to give up all of those apples.

    No matter how often you see them, they never become mundane.

    Just wait until the rutting season, mister.
