Lovely Deer
Posted August 1, 2010
in Critters, Flora & Fauna, Not my photo

Here are some deer that were spotted by a local resident. I’ve been lucky to come across them on occasion at dusk. For some reason they make me hold my breath and believe in magic again, just for a second.
I saw one on my street a month or so ago, bouncing on all four hooves together like he was spring-loaded. Every time he landed it made a cracking sound on the pavement. I’d never heard them be loud before. Usually there are quiet and tentative. This one was hopping right down the middle of the street.
I wish cities would take wildlife into account a little more, and allow them corridors to cross through from one wilderness area to another so they aren’t stranded. I’ve heard of certain planners starting to do this and I certainly hope it catches on.

I sometimes take walks in our local mountains, and am often conscious of the fact that I might run into a bear. I have a pang that he would be agressive, but is seems that they mostly ignore us.
OPEN THREAD: Wildlife in Monrovia

I’ve recently heard some disturbing news that a bear was found near the foothills a couple of weeks ago with its head and feet cut off. Apparently this bear was mother to two cubs, which are now homeless. I’ve only lived in Monrovia for 5 years, but know that bears are rather beloved here, so it’s especially sad to hear that someone could do such a thing. I often see deer and coyotes in my part of town, and accept that we all share this land, and that I must take care to protect my pets when they are on the prowl. Your thoughts?

Found this critter in my garden’s rosebush today. She’s a work of art. I thought she was a dead leaf and branch at first. Her wings look just like shriveled dry leaves, and her body like a small branch. Wonderous!

Fantastic shot of Monrovia Canyon Park. This past week I was Morthern California, and walked a natural area in Carmel Valley that is very similar in feeling to Monrovia Canyon Park. So Pretty!

Like Deer on Flowers
Posted March 22, 2008
in Flora & Fauna
I’ve been noticing more deer in my neighborhood lately, and spotted these four out while walking my dog. For some reason when I see them am overtaken by a sense of wonder and awe and delight. I want to just stop breathing and bask in the magic that surrounds them. It’s like people that seem them are momentarily overcome by a delicate and fleeting sense of bliss.
The best part is seeing the effect they have on cats: uttter and complete mesmerization. Somewhere in the mad kitty brain they are linking into a remnant of their big cat ancestry, and suddenly the cement under their paws becomes an african savannah, and they hunker down and wait for an opportunity that never really comes, despite their best efforts to calculate all the possibilities.

It always surprises me when my fruit starts to turn color in December. These are from my neighbor’s tree, illuminated by the late afternoon winter sun.
