Deer, Dahlias, Damsels - A Positively Delighful City Night

Cheese!

Delightfully we spent the evening in the city at my parents' house. Prowling around a neighbour's garage, I managed to snap a few photos of a fawn. I've always wondered how the people in Medicine Hat are able to have well manicured lawns, with little effort. Now I know. On a regular basis, there are deer scattered about the city. Yesterday, there were two deer lounging below my classroom window. I should never leave the area to see wildlife. Medicine Hat and area is loaded with many creatures. There was also a little bunny beside my parents' house, but I chose to direct my attention to the deer instead. I had to be quick, not because the deer was in any hurry to dine and dash. No, my mother is not a fan of deer in her or her neighbour's flower bed, so I had to hurry because of my mother. She is a deer hunter. After a few shots... not gun shots, photography shots, I watched in horror as my mother chased the baby deer away! "Aw come on, not before I got the ultimate deer photo!" I pouted in dismay like a damsel in distress. Boohoo!

Is She Still Watching Me?

I followed the fawn into the back alley, and to my happiness, I spotted some lovely flowers peaking their heads above and between the fences. Oh, well, it was fortunate that I was able to take the photos I did. It is now getting dark around 8:00! Ugh! The evening was positively a city delight!
