Wildlife

 One Saturday morning I let Gibbs out and sat down with my computer and cup of coffee. He started he usual barking craze which always makes me crazy. I went to the door to bring him in before the neighbors got annoyed. That's when I realized what he was barking at. 

Three deer were running through my back yard. They stopped in the empty lot next to my house and turned around to check us out for a minute. Of course my phone was sitting inside and I knew I wouldn't have time to go get it.

Later that morning I took a picture of the empty lot 


Then I asked AI to put the 3 deer in it for me.

They weren't really that close. They were closer to the road but you get the idea. I was amazed that they were running through town. In all the years I've lived here I have never spotted them in town.

You did a good job of the reenactment. So I'm guessing there is a nearby woods. Maybe they were starving and looking for food. I have heard that is what drives wild animals into the residential areas.

I can imagine the deer appearing there! I agree with Ginny. They were in search of food.

With the help of AI, you now have a picture to reinforce your memory of the deer in the lot.

That was a clever thing you did. I would never have guessed it was AI. Gibbs is an excellent guard dog :)

Its fascinating what AI can do. We haven't seen deer in our neighborhood but we sure get plenty of wildlife, especially since there is so much new housing going up on what was the animals homestead.

You did a great job, Ann! I love seeing the deer.

I know Gibbs was protecting his territory. Isn't it neat all the things that AI can do..

Our town has a lot of resident deer. I recently wrote about the buck trying to chow down on the leaves of a tree in our apartment complex. I saw him again the next day -- he was walking on the sidewalk and a little boy had seen him from a distance and wanted to follow him, so he scooted away again.

I can see the deer there. I do wonder where they live and hang out.

Wow, that was definitely different. You did a good job making the photo.

It's always fun to see deer. - Every now & then someone in town will spot one in their yards . We've never had any venture into ours but a park several blocks down the street has.

You can't believe what you see anymore. :). Deer are all over the place here. A day doesn't go by that I don't see some

Chatty Crone said...

That was pretty close to you! We don't have any near us!

There are some people around here too that have the blowups.
