July 8-9, 2016 A mix if deer and dragons

The few days before camp we had several deer 
come to visit.
During the campfire part as we were sitting
around the campfire a doe came to the fence 
and was about to jump over when one
of the scouts jumped up and said he could see a deer.
She walked up and down the fence and finally 
jumped over into the neighbors yard to the south 
of mine.


 This deer is climbing up on the pile of wood 
that I have crossing the ditch.
The wood is not stable but it hasn't seemed to bother 
them as I have several pictures with them on there.
 This deer came in after I had left for work on Thursday.




I had the trail cam sitting on the wood pile
and by letting my imagination go a little
wild I could see dragons in the flames.
See if you see any of the ones I saw.




















 The visitor to our campfire just before I was 
getting out of bed.
I am in the tent in the background.
I think the clock in this camera is about
45 minutes ahead. 
The buck woke me about 4:45 am
 and got out of bed at 5:00 am.
