Falling Leaves Moon - October 2021

Gorgeous, gorgeous moon in the sky these last few nights. The sky has been clear and the moon looks huge as it rises.

I've seen a few white tailed deer and hope they are avoiding predators - which is why I am calling this  'Falling Leaves' moon instead of 'Hunters.'

Rob and I went up to the French River a couple of weeks ago to visit Art and Chris when the fall colours were at their peak. It was warm enough to hike with only a light jacket. Two nights in a row we saw three deer make an appearance at the end of the driveway. It was good to know they were nearby, eating the fallen acorns that were so plentiful this year. I thought since the camp was far from the city this happened all the time, but it is not so common. The third night I stood still at the end of the driveway waiting, but didn't see them. 

Later that night, Alex sent video of a deer that visited our street - right across from our house in the city. 

Deer must be plentiful this season. Up north they were feeding on the bounty of mushrooms and fallen acorns. Maybe the trees got together and decided to feed them? I hope it isn't a sign of a tough winter ahead.
