Sunday Walks with Nature

Mark and I like to go for a nice long walk on Sunday afternoons.  We typically come home from church, eat lunch, write Robert, relax and talk to the kids on our group chat, then go for a walk between the time the group chat ends and we expect to hear from Robert.  We go to several different places to walk.  We walk around Georgetown Lake (nature trails), Brushy Creek (smooth trail), and Georgetown city trails.  The photos below are from the Georgetown City trails - they are in nature but also cut through a neighborhood where we always see tons of deer (super close).  Usually our walks are between 5-6 miles long.  We love the peaceful environment and the cooler temperatures at this time of the day. 

Deer Everywhere

Deer in our backyard

I love deer.  I think they are such gentle and graceful animals.  You can imagine my surprise as I was driving into the neighborhood and saw not just one but two beautiful large deer in my neighbors side yard.  I was lucky enough to have my camera with me, but as I pulled it out to take a photo, they started to run away. 

Luckily they didn't go too far.  Just to the spot of land where golfers can tee off for the 9th green.  Look how close I was able to get.  They were more afraid of my camera than me.

Eventually they ran down the green back to the woods behind our subdivision.  I wanted to make sure they went that way so not to get hurt by a car or wonder out to the busy roads.  I love all of God's creations and it breaks my heart to see such beautiful animals get hit by cars.  I was so excited to see these deer so close to our house, and more excited to see them return to their natural habitat.
photos coming
