Oh deer.
Taken in Richmond Park. We needed headspace. We took an early morning walk in Richmond Park. Even in times like this, with all the challenges and strange things we face, I am grateful for spaces like this so close to us. One day we won’t live in the UK, which each day I look forward to more, but we do appreciate what we have for now and we are trying to embrace “the grass is greener where we are than thinking it’s greener elsewhere and making ourselves miserable” and that keeps us going. We are facing a few very interesting months, I suspect in the UK, with winter coming and more changes as we process and deal with the chaos COVID is causing (and don’t get me started on the chaos and poor management our government is causing, you can follow me on Facebook for that.
I haven’t posted a Sunday Photo for a few weeks. Partly through lack of inspiration and photos and partly because I haven’t had the mental oomph to come up with anything clever or blog worth.
This was taken in Richmond Park. Young deer. I was not as close as it looks here, thanks to lens power. Whilst the deer are beautiful and these guys were very calm and happy, getting to close to them is dangerous and I do get wound up when I see people getting close to the deer. They are after all wild animals, no matter how social media worthy photos of them are.
I also did a little Tiktok video of our walk. I know it’s a bit of a controversial site, but I am enjoying using it. If you are on there, give me a follow, I use it very differently from the rest of my social media sites.
Life certainly is interesting, isn’t it? Sometimes “Oh deer” just about sums it up…
Wow!! I’ve seen deer on my new school’s campus!
love the shot of the deer – they seem unafraid of people
How lucky to live so close to Richmond Park. What a fantastic photo. It does look like you are really close but I agree you it is best to keep your distance. x
I’ve never visited Richmond Park, it always looks so stunning.
Thank you for linking up to #MySundayPhoto
I’ve seen the deer in Richmond Park, I always think of the video that went viral ‘Fenton’ when I see deer anywhere #mysundayphoto
Lovely photo. They’re certainly all watching alert. I love tiktok too, but just not finding the time to either flick, and have no inspiration for videos.
Richmond Park is beautiful and how lovely to have such a beautiful open space nearby. I love your photo of the deer. The rise in Covid numbers is so worrying, isn’t it? The next six months are going to be tough, I think. #project366
Beautiful animals, lucky to be so close to such a lovely park. I despair of what is coming next with the number of idiots that appear to live in the country #366
Haha like the pun. How ace to see dears in the park x #mysundayphoto
What an awesome image! I love seeing deer roaming wild and free. We had a deer on our front garden during the height of lockdown, they were so brazen back then! Hope you are having a lovely week! Sim x
That must be lovely to live so close to the park. It looks great. The deers are nice xx
I love TikTok for a bit of fun, but we have had to take it off my daughters phone as she was watching some very odd things. A beautiful picture of the deer.
I actually don’t think the government are doing a bad job, they are stuck between a rock and a hard place and nothing would prepare you for an event like this. We all have to learn from mistakes……lets just hope they do
Beautiful photo! Richmond park is a lovely space for long walks. I’ve been once, many years ago.
We’ve had deer in our walled garden a couple of times, it’s amazing how they managed to jump over the stone walls to get in, scared me stiff one day, when I popped in the garden.
What a beautiful photo. We definitely have a few challenging months ahead and getting headspace will be important throughout that time.
A lovely photograph! It has been a challenging year hasn’t it? I would never have thought something like this would happen even though I’ve seen a few programmes about the 1918 pandemic.
Richmond Park has been on our list for a while to see the deers. I haven’t tried tick to or reels on IG yet – I really should!
Nice to go out in the open in a park. That’s a great picture. True, let the animals be
