Evening Visitors

This evening when we got home from church, around 7:30, the deer came marching up over the hill towards the yard.

They stopped at the fence line and watched as I tried to steady the camera for a picture from the front step.

There was about six standing directly across the road and when I looked to the southeast there was another couple just coming out of the valley, following the same trail Blair & I had hiked earlier in the day.

This morning when I was getting Erinn up a couple of pheasants came strutting down the road and crossed into the adjacent pastureland. Over the last couple of weeks I've been seeing lots, the other morning I counted close to 20 on my drive into town, all males, must be a sign of spring.
