Deer, deer me...

Having had the shock of my life Friday night whilst on the phone - stepped out the door to come face to muzzle with a deer under the cherry tree - my little(?) friend returned Sunday afternoon.
And this time I had my camera to hand, only got a few pics as having been basking in the sun I was ill clothed to go deer stalking, well pretty much nil clothed but we won't go into that.

So a few shots of said deer, I think I will call her Delphine...

She seems to have taken a real liking to the Mulberry tree, not sure if it is the fruit, the leaves or both though, no doubt when I find I have just bare branches I will know!!

She also sampled the cherries that had fallen on the ground, I expect to see a somewhat drunk Delphine wobbly around the garden at a later date...

The final shot could have been superb... However I don't think I will be able to remove the tree in photoshop, it is not like the odd wrinkle or wayward hair...
I guess I need to be more aware of where the trees are planted!!!

New tank mates - "Discus"

Finally got to the stage that the tank is ready for the Discus I have been wanting to get - the pictures were taken shortly after they arrived, which is about three weeks ago now.

They are stunning fish and the blue one in particular is very bright even at this early age- they are about 6cm across at present, and the true colouring will kick in when they are a bit more mature.

Apparently one is a Snakeskin, one a pigeon blood and the other possibly Turquoise or Blue something... Shows how little I know yet.

I am hoping they will prove as resilient as their football team as they are imported from Germany.
