Sheep and Deer

Me taking photos of the sheep

What a lovely Sunday afternoon! I was walking with my best friend again at the lake where we used to walk. Although the weather was not sunny and it was only 17°C, there were some people walking at the lake and around the lake. This time we chose another pathway going to a camping resort. On our way, there were sheep inside the fences of the pathway we took. They were busy eating their food (grass). I think there were all 20 of them. They were nice to watch and we took photos and videos of them. On our way back to the parking place where the car of my friend parked, we saw 3 deers running towards us crossing our pathway. My friend was able to take a video of them. I was not able to take even a single photo of them as I was a bit shocked. The deers were so fast. Faraway, under a tree, we saw those deers but then they were already 4 of them. It was the first time I saw deers in that place. I hope I will see them again. It was an interesting Sunday walking with my friend. We walk for 5 kilometers back and forth. Have you seen animals walking in nature when you were walking or jogging? Thank you for reading. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Have a nice new week ahead.

The only kinds of wildlife we have here are birds of various species, lizards, snakes and if I went to the mountains I might see a mule deer. I usually stay here at home and walk around my lot, it is slightly over 73 meters deep and almost 34 meters wide and as often as I walk around my lot I get at least some exercise .... I also do yard work which helps.

Most snakes are more afraid of you than you are of them @thelme55 Of course if you lived in an area where there were pythons or boa or anacondas you might have a good reason for fear, here we only have rattle snakes to fear but they usually want to be as far away from humans as possible.

I have stags queued up on the grass for a cover photo in my fb. Picture courtesy of my daughter who furnished me with animal stories - from sheep to alpaca, peacocks, swans, and all sorts of feathered friends. I like your post, especially the part where you were shocked. That's wonderful.

There is a farm not far from us, I always see sheep when I walk around this area, sometimes a rooster, some ducks. I met three large wild boars with their piglets once, it was not a pleasant moment.

@thelme55 I was scared, particularly due to the fact that those were female with piglets. I stopped and did not move at all, they went away.

@thelme55 They just come out of the woods and either eat what they can find or go to our neighbors on either side or cross the street.

That's awesome you saw them. I'm sorry you didn't get any pictures. The picture of the sheep is lovely. Yes, a couple of weeks ago I saw a deer cross the trail in front of me. He/she was there and gone in a blink of an eye.

Yes, they are social distancing but a bit farther from them, there were sheep in groups. We have also seen a lot of birds nearby. Thank you @Hannihar. I hope you are having a nice Monday.

The animals that I love to see when I walk around my neighborhood are dogs who come for walk with their owners, little squirrels and chirping birds. Btu I hate and am even scared when I spot a monkey. Sheep and deer are so adorable. When I stayed in Colorado near Rocky mountains, we would spot many deer on our walks.

Cool picture. Sunday we went to my great-aunt's house for a family get-together. I haven't seen any animals lately when I walk to get the mail. But a few years ago I saw a turtle crossing the road. And I saw a goat once too.
