As I had shown earlier, I live in the Capital of Connecticut. I can see the tall buildings from my house as they are only 2 miles away. Yet my house is in the classic suburban residential neighborhood. Cute little ranches and Capes. I am fortunate that my property backs up to a large wooded parcel. Some mornings I find wild Turkeys in my backyard.
Late this morning as I was returning from the Supermarket I spotted a Deer in my Yard! I grabbed my digital camera and snapped a pic of her. I walked half way across my yard snapped a few pics, then crouched down and held my hand out. She walked over to me and stopped 20 feet away when she realized I had no food! LOL
I love it when I experience moments like this in the city. Hartford is such a diverse city. We have suburban neighborhoods, old victorian ones, big city office towers and blighted urban gang land. Today I had a deer in my yard, yet last week 16 people were shot in gang/drug related violence 4 miles from my house. Needless to say, I don't ever cross those over to that side of the tracks!
