Not So Wordless Wednesday (Patagonia, AZ)

I look forward to posting my Not So Wordless Wednesday.  I get to share recent photos and I don't have to talk a lot...although I do end up chattering quite a bit before I post most of them.

All of the following photos were taken in November just before we lost the last of our fall colors.  
Our weather temperatures have been above normal for fall, but I have a feeling that our warm days are coming to an end.
More birds are starting to show up.  Some are passing through.....
while others will spend their winter here.
We are also seeing more deer, but the javalina and coatimundi have been scarce.  I would like to see coatimundi at least one more time before we leave in February.
Mama and her little one thought I was following them down the trail and yet they did not seem too nervous about me.  They were very slow walkers..blocking the trail...looking back at me once in a while.
 Finally, I made enough noise to get them moving a little faster...okay, from a snail's pace to a sauntering cat's pace.  Since being polite wasn't working, I called out "Excuse me!  Can I get through?".
That worked.  They jumped off the path and into the creek pretending they had been there all along. 
Humans!  They can be so annoying!  Happy Trails!

  1. Awww, I love the deer photos! I don't get to see them in "real life" so I always enjoy photos from those who do!

  2. The deer are so beautiful and full of grace! I would live to see them in the wild - not in the zoo. How fortunate you are! I also love the first photo - the composition is perfect - you are an awesome photographer! Thank you for sharing!

  3. Deer can be such 'road hogs' sometimes! ;)
    Great photos! I love all the deer around here, but they are more skittish than yours seem to be. How wonderful it is that you are able to get so close to them!

    1. They certainly can be. I would not have hurried them along, but I needed to get back to the office. Otherwise, I could have spent a lot more time watching and following them

  9. Messing with the deer? Hehe. This made me laugh. They obviously do not see you as a treat.

    1. Hi Rachel, That's a plus not being part of the food chain and they did not "charge" me with harassment! ;0)

    2. hehe. I just realized I typed "treat" and not "threat". But it is good they did not see you as either.

Thanks for taking time to leave me a comment. I enjoy hearing from you.
