Indeed! I don't even mind hearing them walking by at night ... tromp, tromp, crunch...

If you know what's out there you get used hearing them walking around I guess?

that is very true! At our old home my daughter was on the second story so never minded all the critters that walked around on the ground, now she's on the ground floor and is very paranoid about "what's that"?!!?! And we've got many more creatures here...she's got her own little separate house (a grannie flat - small bedroom, sitting room and bathroom) that is away from our main house and she has one of our cats that has adopted her space...this cat will occationally get all floofed up - and make the most awful sounds

That must be great for her, living apart but still close enough if needed or if she gets too scared. She will get used to the sounds after a while. And it can help you as a parent to let go. Or daughter lived with us in the same house till she was 27 before she left to live on her own. A big difference and not easy. Your daughter is 20, enjoy it while you can.
A cat that makes awful sounds, sounds funny!!

Your thoughts are exactly why we worked hard at finding this set up for her when we moved about 16 months ago... We are enjoying her
LOL, all of our kitties have been spayed so no mating going on here

Freedom close to home. 
Maybe the cats also miss you.

Yep! Na, no cat missing me...they all come and go in the house as they like (except at night, then they're locked in)

Nice shot Ruth! The mule fawns don't have white spots like our white-tailed fawns here??? That's disappointing!

The fawn do have the spots...for a while anyway...this is the mom (I think) of twins...

ah okay...it looks small from that angle hah

I was sitting at my desk and saw this pair walk by [link] ... see? We've got spots too

Very! We saw some deer on our backpacking trip this past weekend.

I feel so guilty! This is another out my bedroom window or somewhere in the house...no suffering for my art ...

You must suffer!!!!! Get out there and hike all over and then come back and take pictures of the deer right by your house!

You must trek through the mountains with no food or water in 100F heat and eat bugs to keep yourself alive!!!
Or, you can sip iced tea and just lie to us that you did!

Aw bless her heart, she's put in a hard working summer

Yes, here too. Plus just about anything people put out gives them diarrhea, which is weird because they will even eat the azaleas and other landscaping around here

the only plants outside of our "deer fenced" garden are lavender and oleandar - they don't seem to like those too much
I had some snap peas growing next and onto the fence - they didn't seem to like those too much either...but it was still spring with other choices, who knows what they'd eat now with all the grass dry...

the flowers were lovely but the resulting left over "weeds" were a huge pain to clear

Well thats always a pain eh?

unfortunately...but some years are worse than others!

I love watching them! early morning and early evening (well, basically anytime) they come wandering by
π: 0 β©: 1
Me too!! We have some pretty tame ones in our neighborhood. They are used to traffic, so they'll stand right up next to the road with their babies and eat and never flinch!! The babies still have their pretty white spots. I want to take them home. I was friends with a family growing up that raised a baby fawn after the mother was killed. It acted like their dogs and chased cars up the driveway with them. So funny to watch!!

that would be sooooo fun!
But I'd be afraid that once it wandered away it would be an easier target for the hunters because it wouldn't be afraid
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, that's what the family was always afraid of too. But hopefully not.

I was so pleased with that glow - I don't know how I missed the shot in the file! Ah well, a pleasant surprise
