Who does this deer think he’s fooling? (well actually on this dark and rainy morning walk…perhaps me) Saanich cars heading to work all had lights on . This phone image has been automatically lightened, making the wannabe deer visible.
A surprising number of real deer wander this residential hillside; they sometimes feast on gardens and fruit trees and defend their territory suggesting that humans should avoid conflict by walking on the far side of the street. (see 3 Bucks).
See these Saltspring links for kinder, gentle and observant, and the odd creative deer 🙂
