Doh! A Deer

You know, in the four months we've been here so far, the only four-legged wildlife we've seen is the notorious Rodent Of Unusual Size (featured in an earlier post), or deer, munching gardens right in the heart of town (and never out in the wild).

This afternoon, as we sat in our living room, Marcelle happened to see a deer just outside. The weather was just doing a bit of snow/hail, and the deer stood just under the overhanging trees and kinda had this patient, yet disappointed face. It plainly saw me both through the window and when I slipped out onto the porch for a less obstructed view.

A few minutes later, it melted back into the rain forest and disappeared.
