It's cooler in the woods. Lots of birds and animals and seeking shade from the hot sun and taking refuge in the woods. People walk through, but it's not as busy as the more popular paths. I like the woods. There is something magical about them. I almost feel as though I'm far away from civilisation, when there is a main road not too far away. In the woods it is harder to hear the traffic. Especially this year as the nearby road has been closed one-way.
There have been so many deer around these last few days of June. They seem to love the shelter of the woods and can often be seen laying down or just wandering. At this time of year they don't seem too afraid of people. I walk softly and quietly, trying not to scare them. Most of them don't seem to notice me, once in a while there will be a curious one who tilts their head at me and try to make sense of this strange woman watching them.
Some of their antlers are getting quite big now!
Sharing the woods with the deer are some chipmunks and squirrels. Lots of them!
Up in the trees maybe a sign of someone making this tree its home
Someone or several things are definitely making their home here!
Paper Wast nest. They can be quite nasty, but their nests are really quite a work of art!
And leading into the next post of birds, I was so excited to catch a glimpse of an owl again this week deep in the woods.
