Though if it was it was near the Montlake Bridge it could wander on to the UW Campus and find stuff to eat in the Medicinal Herb Garden (a hedge is made of tea! think of a caffeinated deer), or the crab apples near Frosh Pond.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14428361191787397415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340068615976654326.post-8675847316823726802016-08-17T23:03:41.205-07:002016-08-17T23:03:41.205-07:00Thank you!

By the way on Tuesday I noticed an apple tree dropping ripe apples just to the east of the Montlake Bridge and on the north side of the Cut. I suspect Lefty was sampling the apples while in the area. It will be interesting to see if he turns up again in the area. It would be nice if he drifted back to an area with less traffic. Thank you for the update! (PS: I sure hope someone sends in one of the photos from this morning.)<br /><br />Larry Hubbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11346591926338103362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340068615976654326.post-71107817898386410892016-08-17T20:49:41.780-07:002016-08-17T20:49:41.780-07:00HI LARRY: I saw the same deer at about 11 am Wed...HI LARRY: I saw the same deer at about 11 am Wed. 8/17/16. It was trying to cross Montlake Blvd from East to West about10 meters North of the Montlake Bridge.<br /><br /> It tried about 6 times but was scared back onto the sidewalk Several pedestrians on that side of the street took photos.<br /><br /> It finally seemed to get discouraged and headed down towards the cut.<br /><br /> Hopefully, the little guy will drift back for more pears.<br /> Steve Hauschka<br />Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03950767893982729207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340068615976654326.post-72030252231370456462016-08-13T15:13:49.591-07:002016-08-13T15:13:49.591-07:00Sorry about your crops but it is wonderful to thin...Sorry about your crops but it is wonderful to think we may still have a a deer around.

This lovely deer was seen going up my street!<br /><br />I am mostly bemused at the new gardening hazard. Years ago when I stayed with a relative who lived off of HiWay 410 near the Naches River having to walk by deer hanging around the carport as we tried to enter the car ("Excuse me, deer, I need to open the door."), but I never expected to deal with them in the city! I am hoping the nylon socks on the apples kept him from munching those, though I bet he was too full after all the pears and sunflowers. I'll just tackle it as another gardening challenge (like my annual battle of wits with the squirrels for persimmons).Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14428361191787397415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7340068615976654326.post-67604972712906381742016-07-19T16:26:17.426-07:002016-07-19T16:26:17.426-07:00Wonderful!
