A young #buck came visiting today. Then one of his buddies came along too. They’re not bothered by the rain & I’m not bothered they’re eating the plants. They were here on this land long before humans. In 1 photo we can see the marks where one of the bucks shed his antlers. He’s injured his leg somehow, has slight limp. Spring’s coming & the beautiful cycle of life starts anew.

In ancient Japanese tales the #deer is considered the messenger of the gods and divine servants. Mimi came by on her wanders, along with a young buck and another doe. Mimi knows us now, and will let me walk alongside her, at a distance, in the forest. If we have messages for each other it is one of caution and care. #LekwungenTerritory #BlackTailedDeer #Mythology #fauna

My partner & I rent a cottage on the traditional hunting grounds of the #lekwungen speaking Peoples. The lands have game trails crisscrossing in every direction. When we first moved here the deer paths would sometimes lead me astray... This is a portrait of a #BlackTailedDeer #buck who is a wandering neighbour. He is magnificent.

#Bellingham, #Washington, #USA: I am beyond sad that the #CITYOFBELLINGHAM disregards their portions of a SMALL RARE #greenbelt that would be EASY to protect😣. "No Trespassing" signs are needed. Enforcement of Bellingham Municipal Codes is needed. #Ivy, #clematis and other serious #invasives need to be removed during #WINTER so as not to hurt #cottontails, #blacktaileddeer, #squirrels, #raccoons and #birds while they are #nesting. 🆘️ https://www.planetmanners.net/2020/01/bellingham-wa-quick-wetland-views-from.html
