Oh My Deer...

It was just me and Mr. Bambi on Old Field beach.

I was on a nature walk this weekend when I ran into a very handsome fellow.

It's hard to believe that a buck like this could be living around here. I am referring to the deer. I don't ever meet any men on the beach, just wildlife. He was not one of those scrawny deer that usually populate this area. He looked more like Bambi's daddy!

I talked to him for a while and he just stood there on the hill listening, probably just waiting for this silly beach lady to move on. "Hey lady, why don't you check out those seagulls over there? I think one has a crab." I also came across a piece of wood that looked like an animal eating something. I had to take a photo and share it!

When I tell you that I walked for over an hour on the beach and did not see another human being, would you believe me? True. Is this Long Island? The sunlight was dazzling and the photo does not really do it justice.
