Astounding as it sounds, we came very, very close to several herds of deer quietly munching away at one of the local resorts and on a nearby baseball field. I say herds because we counted over 25 at the baseball field alone. And they were not the least bit frightened of us. We are guessing that because of the severe drought conditions in California, the wildlife is being forced to come nearer to civilization just to find food. Sad.
We had seen a gentleman petting a deer a littler earlier, and my husband turned to me and said, "I want to pet that deer." I was surprised, but he went over and... can you see in this next photo that my husband is petting that deer?
And this... this was absolutely hilarious! After quietly watching my husband pet the deer from across the yard, this guy started taking photos of it as it moved towards him. My husband yelled over to him to "take a selfie!" And, he did! OMG, it was so funny! And, then when his buddy walked up to him from behind his car, he told him, "I got a selfie!" I would have loved to see that selfie. You just can't make this stuff up.
What a fun little trip it was. I have a few more photos to share...
Take care,

Sounds, and looks, like you had a great trip. Your fall colours are amazing and the met ups with the deer - priceless!
Your photographic skills match your quilting skills! These are awesome!
That looks like my kind of place to spend some time! The deer are probably also being fed by people.
Lovely pictures! It's nice to see Oregon because my doughter is there as an exhange student (in Scio).
