The Dear Deer Family!

While visiting at our "dear" friends house one day, we were so surprised to see this "deer" family walking around behind the house! Five big deer were enjoying nibbling on the young tender grass there. Amazingly, they didn't run off quickly, but meandered their way along as they saw us watching from a distance. What magnificent animals they were- able to move along the steep terrain with such ease and always on the alert for danger. A rare treat to see considering this was in the city.

I am reminded of the verse in Psalms 42:1

"As the deer pants for the water brooks, so my soul thirsts for Thee, O God."
