Lovely video of nature at her finest. How lucky that deer is to have a place that is free from predators and has plenty of food. Would love it if deer here on LI had that same peace. The only animals in my neighborhood that I see are squirrels and rabbits. The raccoons and possums are nighttime visitors. Thanks again for that video.
😷 . . . well nice, but here is a bummer for Deer in the US! I just read this! Now there is talk about that keeping 6 feet distance is not enough for mammals which includes us. I read that in Illinois the Deer have Covid and should not be approached. -
oh, that is sad to hear, especially since the pandemic could have been so much better under control by now in the lowest vaccinated country of the G7 with the best resources to vaccinate all. A year ago it was sad to see that there was not yet a vaccine, now it is sad to note that too many don't believe in science until they are in the ICU where they demand the latest scientific insights to save their lives. Future historians will struggle to explain what happened in the U.S. in these years.
Thank you for this. I love how she makes sure you're "safe" and not about to attack her. I do remember that field. So beautiful and what a lucky deer to live there.
I'm doing pretty well on your check list of things to do today (been kind to several people, had vegetarian pizza and lots of fruit and veg, plus had already walked 8000 steps before lunch and much of that was in nature). Only thing I can't do is hug my pet. I don't have one. I did pet a baby goat though and it snuggled up to me. I think that should count.
Happy Thursday!! Thank you Alex for changing your mind. Like your other readers, I feel the same way about your post. With all the craziness in the world, your post are a breath of fresh air.
Also thank you for reminding us to eat less meat and to walk 7k steps. Have an excellent day and share your paradise with us all when you can.
That is nice to read. It made me check my phone: 9,000 steps, I guess 8,000 of them in nature. I made some pictures (hope you don't mind more ponies...) and may share them soon.
Lovely interactions as you and the deer had are wonderful heartwarming reminders of the inter-connections we each have (if we quietly pause and observe). Alex, I hope you have a peaceful healthy and inspiring day.
Thank you, Dawna. You are so right, if we quietly pause and observe, there is so much beauty to be seen. I stopped and watched the teamwork of ants today; fascinating to see. Same wishes to you!
Yes, you are right and I fully agree. After spending years raising awareness about the risks of climate change, I have focussed this summer mostly on the beauty of all we have on this planet that is at stake. I don't think anyone would define the posting of a picture or video of nature as concrete climate action, but in a way, you could see it as an element in a broader campaign of promoting awareness of what we have to gain and what we have to lose if we don't become better stewards of 'our' planet.
Having said that, soon the last summer days will be over and I may, later than planned, shift my focus away from this summer mood, and a bit more towards COP26, perhaps starting with explaining the basics. The readers of this newsletter are quite a diverse group, some play key roles in the negotiations in Glasgow, others may not know what COP stands for.

That reminds me of Canada
(-: oh dear, Deer crossing, bringing on health improvements . . . Thank you Alexander for this Thursday' capture 🌻
Well we kept the save five feet distance, and we didn't need a mask outdoors

Love this. Yesterday when I was out walking I stopped to write, “When you notice Nature, Nature notices you.” 😊
That's nice, the first seconds of the video illustrate that :-)
I love that. So true. Thank you.

You get extra points for hugging a baby goat :-)
I am balmed and soothed.
Happy you had a change of heart & posted this loveliness!
And wonderful to see such expressions of appreciation for all you provide!
Thank you Lizzie

We're all interested in what you have to say and share.
