I prefer animals
over humans because
humans give me a
reason to dislike them,
while animals always
give me a reason
to love them.

Though frowned upon, I do enjoy buying carrots, grapes and apples to feed the mule deer on Catalina. The fawns with their spots are so cute. The doe have ribs that show and some have mange. But they are sweet and friendly. It feeds my soul as well as theirs.
The deer like to crowd you and will eat out of your hand…but then it is more difficult to photograph them. Plus, if you toss the food to them and they are eating off the ground, it is harder to know who fed them.
You're a good person...and boy are you milking the holiday quota! The deer come and eat the plants in our yard here, so Ken set out a camera tonight to try to catch some photos! To double our bet, I suggested he set some carrots and an apple near the camera...seems a fair trade for a picture!
