Deer in the Dunes

[Rimbaud]

The Atlantic is on the other side of the dunes. Our deer on eastern Long Island, at least by the water’s edge, are big bodied. The bucks are huge, too. As you can imagine, no hunting pressure.

Very cool. Deer are so adaptable. They can live anywhere there is some water and food. I'm sure the neighbors complain about them.

Incredibly, I’m not sure that they even notice the beauty of the deer. I fear they are often too caught up in themselves which I think is the curse of NYC.

Yes...I can imagine them complaining about the deer in the garden, etc. I remember seeing deer and wild horses in the Outer Banks islands. Beautiful country.

Those photos were taken by one of my daughters. When I’m back next, I’ll look to take some photos of the turkeys. They’re as big as VWs. After the summer season ends, and everyone leaves, the turkeys roam all over, and the deer seem to sense the absence of people. I’ve been told that the animals get so big out there because they eat crabs, and seafood along the shore line.
