MyFriend From the Woods....

Because someday someone other than my immediate family may want to read my blog, I thought I should explain about the photo of my friend from the woods. About a year ago, while walking my dogs in the Cleveland Metroparks, I saw a herd of deer running through the woods. While it is not uncommon to see deer in the Cleveland area, it was odd to see a white deer. This animal, as you can see from the picture, is almost all white with a brown head. Very odd indeed. In fact the first time I saw it, I did not have my glasses with me and, because it was so far away, I thought it might be a goat! But, a goat running around with a herd of deer in the Cleveland suburbs???? Absurd!!
I saw my friend twice since then, both times while walking my dogs. Once it would not let me pass on the trail, instead pounding it's foot on the ground and making strange noises. I thought it best to turn around and retreat in the direction from which I had come. The last time I saw my friend, he stuck around long enough for me to run home and return with my digital camera, posing for several shots. So, enjoy the photo of my buddy. It's not often that you see such a bizarre looking beast!
