There is a group of deer on the golf course that I see just about every morning at 4:30AM on one side of Moorland Rd near the Golf Course maintenance building. I know they are likely to be there so I drive slowly.
I see them.
They see me.
Inevitably they leap out in front of my truck seconds before I’m about to pass them.
I can’t quite understand what is going through their brains that they put themselves in harms way instead of just staying there. Same with rabbits and squirrels but I just figure the rabbit and squirrel brains are tiny so they don’t have the processing power. Surely deer have to be smarter but seemingly without fail they leap out in front of oncoming traffic consistently.

“We are animal lovers and advocates and consider it a great honor to be able to host an event with this beautiful non profit organization”, says Rebeccah owner of Suil Crow. “Animals are an important and cherished gift to families and deserve a home where they get lots of love and can give their love in return.”

art is art, process is process…it’s about communicating with the world
Willie Loco Alexander
“Growing up I was encouraged to make art and music. I remember my mom–she played violin in the Cape Ann Symphony–showing me how to cross hatch to give my drawings more depth.
“My Grandpa Doggett sent us the Currier and Ives calendar every Christmas and I remember enjoying the illustrations. We had Van Gogh and Grandma Moses on the wall. In 5th grade I won the “Clean Up, Fix Up, Paint Up” poster competition with my drawing of a Native American. Miss Wentworth, my classroom teacher, told me that she wouldn’t have picked mine.
“Moments in life have significance.
“It was a the Museum School and then Goddard College that I started playing rock n’ roll with my first band, The Lost, in 1964.
“Through my entire musical career, I have never stopped making visual art. In the sixties and seventies, I filled my “Holy Babbles” with scribbles, pinups and drawings.
“Making art is something I’ve always done–like brushing my teeth, tying my shoes, walking in the woods.”

Several egrets were gathered at Lower Banjo Pond recently. I suppose they may have been migrating. They looked pretty regal sitting there. The mallards swam by peacefully but the egrets seemed to think the ducks got too close to the shore for their liking and shook them off.
