The Deer Whisperer

I thought I'd like some company this morning, so I sent out the secret signals to call the wild things.

The eight-point buck was the first to answer the call. He did not stay long, though, and vanished like grey smoke into the trees.

This doe arrived next.

I thought she might venture onto the deck

 and come visit me.

 She stood but 10 feet away

 while I snapped photos

 through the french door window.

She hung around for quite a while,

 but was not interested in close-up beauty shots.

Next I saw some does

 out the side window in the garage.

 I started to open the back door

 but realized I had yet another close visitor.

She was eating my bush.

 I have plastic fencing around my roses

 to keep the deer away;

 you can see it in the picture.

She liked the open corner

 of that part of the yard.

 No mesh fencing there

 to keep her from something tasty.

Yummy! Thank you, Deer Whisperer
 for planting this lovely bush.

I opened the garage door

 and she trotted about 20 feet away.

What did I do?

She said after I shooed her off.

Nothing, my dear.

 You just answered the Deer Whisperer's call!
