Here is a shot of the Town Deer (Bucks) that came to visit us last night. They were feasting on the greens in the yard. They must be seeking refuge as bow season opens up this weekend.

Eastern Oregon
Last week Robbie and I made our way down to John Day, Oregon. This town is our soon to be home. We took a few photos, and I know that some of you are anxious to see what the area looks like.
Many of the fields we drove past had groups of mule deer grazing, as seen here. I have never seen so many deer in one area. They not only frequent the fields, but they also frequent town and spend their days lazily laying in people's yards.
One late afternoon we drove up to a small lake located in the National Forest. Three gentlemen were fishing, and it didn't look like they were doing too bad. This lake has a trail around it, and could easily be done in an hour or so.
This shot is a little washed out, but gives a better idea of the valley in which we will be living and the forest that surrounds it above.
Here is a photo of a pheasant that Robbie spotted on the side of the road one afternoon. He had a lady friend with him, but she wasn't as pretty and was much more camouflaged in the background.
Oh yes, the shoe tree. No highway is complete with out one. Need I say more?

Headed Down South
Come late November, Robbie and I will be living in the lower 48 again. Robbie has been offered and accepted a Wildlife Biologist position with the Malheur National Forest and the Blue Mountain Ranger District in John Day, Oregon. We are eagerly awaiting a new landscape, recreational opportunities and the sun.
