I live in Gatineau, Quebec Canada. It is a fairly large city with some 500,000 inhabitants not counting all the areas and villages and smaller cities surrounding it which are amalgamated with Gatineau. Even though I live in this area, nature still surrounds and even invades it sometimes. I have seen raccoons, hares, a couple of foxes and even one bear with my own eyes.
But there are some visitors that I really like to see and these are deers. The pictures below and above were all TAKEN WITH MY CELLPHONE. All the sightings of these wonderful and graceful visitors are late in the evening or early night. All the photos were taken through my backdoor patio door. The deer’s were walking at a leisurely pace at about 8 or 10 feet away from the patio door.
As you might see, I do not have any neighbours in the back. Rather we have a large field belonging to Hydro Quebec. So these deers somehow manage to cross that field and land in my back lane way. Why, you might wonder? On the left of the lane way, there is an old apple tree which still manages to produce apples. Deers just love a good apple anytime. In late fall, these apples all eventually fall to the ground and the deer just come and eat them up.
This next picture is from a deer going towards the tree on the left…
The next picture is of a deer coming back from eating these apples.
Here is another picture of a deer coming back from eating the apples. If I remember well there were about 4 deers that came along that special evening.
So what do you think? Do you have unusual visitors also in your area? I know that Rex and Doc do, but what about other Virilyans. You should share some pictures too.
This animal was hungry and your apple caused it.
Yes I agree he or she was probably hungry and braved the city to come and eat it. Thanks for your visit and comment and upvote.
Never saw a deer… You are missing something special. They are such beautiful creatures. I only see them in the fall though when they brave the city life to come and feed on the Apple tree. Thanks for your visit and comment and up vote.
This is amazing. I go for a walk near my home in the countryside and I have seen rabbits, foxes and deers.
That is a great sight to see I am sure. I relish the times when this happens here with me living in a city. Thanks for your visit and comment and up vote.
Thanks so much for sharing and for leaving a comment on my post. In case you have not read what I am doing this week it’s https://virily.com/diy/quid-pro-quo-week/ Check it out. I think if more people did this we might be more successful. I am sharing your post on social media as well.
Thank you so much for sharing my little post. Also a big thanks for dropping in and commenting and up voting. Now off I go to check up your highlighted post.
I don’t have any unusual visitors nearby because I live in an overcrowded village.
That is too bad but I live in a city and they have been seen for the past 3 or 4 years. Still a big thank you for your visit and comment and up vote.
Gorgeous! You must be a Disney princess to attract such lovely animals. Only animals that visit us are birds and cats, and an occasional frog.
I guess it depends where someone resides. As I stated there is a field behind our backyard along with a pond so there is a fairly large enough area for animals to live and or hide. At one point we had ducks knocking at the patio door for some corn or bread… Thanks so much for your visit and comment and up vote.
such a beautiful picture! Well pictures! we see deer often on our walk. They are beautiful!
I wish I could see them all year round and not just in the fall season. Thanks for your visit and comment and up vote.
we seee them all but the dead of winter. We have a huge over population problem in Maryland now. (of deer)
I do not think we will ever get to see deer here but I am waiting for peacocks
Well peacocks ate so colorful I would not mind seeing them either. Thanks for dropping in and commenting and up voting.
Wow I love seeing deer. I grew up around a lot of wildlife, we would feed corn to the deer and they would come in the yard every night. Now the cows are gone, but there are a few buffalo around at the neighbors.
Yes I remember your posts on the buffalos. That must be quite a sight. Thanks for your visit and comment and up vote.
Deer are adorable animals. I would like to have such visitors but I live far from the forest.
I understand. But I do not live close to any forests either. The deers just wander in somehow. Thank you for your visit and comment and up vote.
