At her blog CruzTalking Two, the other DrC has photos taken from our high country screened-in back deck. The deer and the aspen forest are on full display.
If you wonder why the deck is screened, the reason is twofold. First, forests have bugs we’d rather not encounter, and second, the heavy screen acts as what hunters call a “blind.”
We can see out but the deer (and other critters) can’t see us and be frightened. We like to watch them and have planted nothing they will damage with their grazing. There have been several evenings we ate dinner at that table with a deer lying 6’ away chewing her cud, seemingly oblivious.
If you’ve wondered why we old crocks make the considerable effort to spend the warm half of the year here, these pix give you a sizable hint.
