We went hiking and saw some deer


After taking the picture of the boat, we went hiking. There have been changes. All the wild goats and pigs that roamed the island have been hunted out because of the damage they did to the plant life. When my kids were little, we always loved watching the families of goats that came right down to the water, but times change. Now the brush is much more dense and harder to hike through. Since the pigs are no longer controlling the snake population, we paid good attention to where we placed our feet.
We were hiking under some wild cherries when we happened upon a herd of deer who were enjoying the shade. Some of them spooked, but one doe stood up, but when we stopped walking, she lay back down. See if you can spot her in the middle of the picture.
