An invasion interrupted our sunrise yard time yesterday morning, but our pair of fearless deer sentries kept the perimeter secure.

We went out to our yard yesterday morning for our dawn activities to discover two surprises waiting for us—a fresh dusting of snow and a herd of deer. The light snow was only moderately interesting, but the visiting creatures alerted our fearless pair of deer sentries. And why aren’t we at the fence sounding the alarm? Absolutely nothing to do with their size or number. Nope, the middle of the yard seemed to be a better place to monitor them. That’s our story and we’re sticking to it.

A Shark Attacked My Best Friend
June 20, 2025 - In honor of the 50th anniversary of the theatrical debut of the movie Jaws, the film that was the inspiration for these events, D. K. Wall recorded the story in audio and video. The original story was posted on October 9, 2022.
A shark attacked my best friend when I was 11. His screams were awful. The silence that followed was worse. I was alone in the ocean.
That neck just looked wrong back there! lol
Nice poses..
Those are two very regal poses.
Best viewing angle Hu-Dad! What are you suggesting?
Of COURSE I believe your story. Better to be safe than sorry as far as those herd of deer go-lol!!!!!
