There were MANY beautiful outfits at the Morris and Essex Kennel Club show last weekend. Then there was this! Wearing dead animals around your neck is just wrong! Ugh!

I am a huge Jack Hanna fan and was excited to see his show in Lancaster this past weekend. “Jungle Jack” is Director Emeritus of the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and hosts several TV shows including “Jack Hanna’s Wild Countdown” and “Into the Wild”. He is well-known for bringing his animal friends to visit Johnny Carson, David Letterman, Good Morning America, etc., and never fails to entertain. Jack is an animal expert, conservationist and educator. It was wonderful to see and learn about some fascinating animals at the show, including a beaver, alligator, owl, two-toed sloth, lemur, penguin, kookaburra, and, my favorite, the cheetah. There were more, but I can’t remember the names of them all! Isn’t this cheetah beautiful?

The deer are plentiful on the grounds of my workplace. Most days I see them waiting by the parking lot – moms and their babies – hoping that someone has a piece of fruit or some vegetables to share. I admit that I do bring them bananas and apples every now and then. Judging by how they stare at me, I think they know that I am a sucker for those big soft brown eyes! They guilt me into giving them my lunch! This was what I saw today when I looked into the side mirror as I was ready to head home! Do you know how terrible I felt because I didn’t have anything to share?

I’ve been seeing these babies around the community for several weeks. Finally mom brought them to our house. She was likely getting them acquainted with the path to our garden where they can dine on shrubs and flowers in the summer and bird seed in the winter! While mom was busy in the woods, the two little ones were investigating the garden. Aren’t they adorable?!

It was a Sunday morning buffet for this deer that visited my garden today. First she nibbled on my trumpet vine, then some weeds, and finally she dined on my Spirea bush (the flowers in the foreground). The fake heron was keeping an eye on her, but that didn’t deter the chomping! Oh sure, I could have tapped on the window to scare her away, but the reason I love living where I do is because it’s so close to nature. I wouldn’t have it any other way!
