We finally got out for a paddle, and it even sprinkled on and off, but it was still humid.
There was a beautiful blue heron but he was hidden too much in the marsh and with the rain, I couldn't get a shot, maybe he will be there next time. Always wonderful wild fowl to be seen on the shores and in the marsh coves, but today we got a rare treat. I thought I saw a dog at first, then realized it was a deer with her two fawns. They were trying to get out of the neighborhood they were in, heading for the point, so not sure where they were going.
I think they were confused as to where to go, especially when they saw this sign.
I guess they can't read, or they didn't care, they just kept going.
And being the fools that we are, we kept paddling in the rain, around the harbor. I was able to take this shot during a rain break, boats going in and out of the harbor and a few people came out to fish on the breakers. We are not the only ones who love to "Play in the rain";)

Beautiful. I love the deer. We have a lot of deer around our house. Someone came by today and said he'd seen a doe with twin fawns. Maybe we'll get a chance to see them too.
Beautiful. we too love to kayak.

What beautiful babies, dutifully following mom...love them!
Deer are so beautiful in nature!! Not so much when I'm driving and they are in the middle of the road! :-) Your photos are gorgeous!
Great day out - even in the rain... how special to see those deer and fawn...

We have deer and fawns daily in our yard and the babies are so cute with their spotted backs...so I can forgive the fact that they come right up on my front steps and eat my flowers!
Love the photos. Sounds like a wonderful paddle. Playing in the rain is great once you're down with being wet!

Great pictures and it sounds like a lovely alternative to the heat so many have had this last week.
Love the picture of the deer and everything is so green and the rain.....AHHHHH!!!!
Glad you got a paddle in....Sometimes the rain adds a little bit of unexpected fun....Beautiful shots of the deer....those little ones are so dang cute ('cept when they try to drink out of our pool!) Have a great week! Smiles & Hugs ~ Robin
We get deer through our yard too quite a bit. It's startling to see a buck with a huge rack standing in your driveway. A few weeks ago a fawn was all alone in the yard. I was worried about her because the mother was no where to be seen. Hopefully she found her.
And what a beautiful scene you have for kayaking.
Beautiful pics - I love to play in the rain, that looks so fun! Don't think I'd be brave enough to take my camera out in it though....do you have a waterproof bag you keep it in?
