Two things!

I saw a young buck this morning. Two-point antlers. I got off the max at Beaverton Creek, and he was nibbling on the grass, not twenty feet from where cars drop people off. He looked up at me a few times but seemed to figure I was harmless. I would have stayed and watched him longer, but I didn't want to be too late to work. I worried about him, though--he had to cross max tracks (during morning rush hour) to get back into the trees, and there were a lot of busy streets nearby.
I've been seeing a lot more deer than usual lately. Is it just the time of year? There's not any hunting that close by, so they don't seem to have any fear of people.
There's probably not really a snowball's chance in hell of me getting to Tyson's to even start looking for a white button-down shirt and my tie.
ruby_wings is going as an "emo" Ravenclaw, so I think I'm going to go to Hot Topic and buy a girly-cut Slytherin tshirt, and wear it with my black skirt from last weekend, fishnets, and my docs. I'll be a goth Slytherin! ....sorta. *lol*
I think for the next movie (and the last book), I might attempt to go all-out accurate, with a robe and all.

Date: 2005-11-15 03:17 am (UTC)Don't they break off their antlers every year and grow a new pair? I think I heard that somewhere, but I've never just seen an antler on the ground anywhere.
If I can find some fuzz, I'll definitely grab it. What is it used for in spellwork?

They don't look like a "rack" which has been preserved and hung on the wall as some bizarre trophy. I've only ever seen one and I only saw it because of the dogs. We were taking a hike and I found marty came trotting down the hill with one which must have recently been shed because it was uhhh .... natural.
I would use the fuzz for times when I wanted to find an alternative path to a goal. (Deer are phenominal at finding a hidden path somewhere.) Or if I wanted to heighten my sensitivity (they have very good eyesight, and those huge ears, but sense most danger with their nose). There's probably more but that's what first came to mind.
Deer energy isn't one I've tried working with much, they're too flighty for my group. And I mean that in the most non-judgemental way possible. Turtle and badger are just slow and methodical, they either carry their homes with them, or burrow in. This whole migration thing annoys them. :)

I thought about shooing him, but then he's running towards the tracks or the road, which would defeat the point.
I hope I see him again.
