More Backyard Nature Pics

Today we had four deer and two turkeys come for lunch in the backyard. Not sure what to expect next.

Our Backyard Deer

We have seen deer around our house since we moved in. Last summer I would occasionally find one eating my flowers. Scott decided to put out some deer corn in the backyard to help feed them during the winter. He built a feeder but they don't like it as much as they do the corn he throws on the ground. When they come to feed, we see anywhere between 2-8 deer at a time. He has tried several times to get a picture but one is generally on sentry duty all the time and will scatter the group in a second. He was able to take this picture this week. If you click on it, you can see two of them. As soon as he took it, they ran. We have enjoyed watching them, but he is going to have to keep feeding them if they start eating my flowers again.

Finley Weekend in NC

This weekend, Nikki was photographing a wedding in nearby Bat Cave. In addition to her, Josh, and Eli, Nikki's parents, brother and sister-in-law came for the weekend. We had a good time shopping and sightseeing. The photo and video were taken on Sunday while the guys were grilling burgers.
