Awesome images, you are lucky to have this communication with the deer. I would love it. I have such contact with different sorts of monkeys when you follow them, watch them, make them be used to you. But deer must be very different experience but full of the same magic.
P.S. No unnecessary words in the article, the writing style is the most enjoyable for reading. I hope curators will notice this.
Thank you ever so much @datych for the positive feedback and resteeming my post. It means a lot to me especially from a great contributor like yourself! I wrote this piece after a busy day out and about. But that's how some of us show their best, daily, regardless the circumstances, assuring the magic happens 👏 When the time is right for your trip to England, I will gladly teach you my ways. We will admire lots of wildlife if you wish in and miles out of London. We will meet fantastic people too and get inspired from one another. Food is top quality at my place, never boring and too traditional, no doubt about that! I have seen some of your crazy monkey photos which I still remember. They are quite small animals compared to deer and much more mischievous so also a challenge to photo on their own. I took some fun monkey images in Bali, Indonesia which I'm sure will find their way into one of my posts at least sooner or later.
Visiting the UK is out of my reach, alas. Although, as you know, I would love it. Your suggestions sounds fantastic, thank you :)
Would be great you come to Russia. But I won't describe the perspective since ...Russia is far from the condition to be a travel destination soon - 1000 died of covid daily, official stats. :(
😱 I’ve not realised that the numbers are so high over there. Stay safe my friend and keep avoiding crowded places. I was actually told today that my grandfather was in contact with somebody who’s now diagnosed with COVID-19. So happy Sunday, one more thing to worry about. Anyway, hopefully he won’t get it and it will not make his condition worse. I am preparing now a photo selection which will be shown to him tomorrow and will hopefully cheer him up.
One day, the sooner the better, when this pandemic is all in the past, I would definitely come over and spend some time in Saint Petersburg. Probably in summer, as I love nature, the seaside, foraging and we’ll just be able to do more outdoors.
47.000+ people are having covid (source) in St.P. -- almost 1% of population.
Hope you grandpa will be fine.
Summer is a great time. Let's forage on something in forests around the city... one day... :)
😱 A negative PCR test will be required just for a museum or theatre visit. Many haven’t been vaccinated and more restrictions are being introduced. A work colleague of mine moved back to her parents for few weeks as her partner got COVID-19. It all starts to look very much like last year’s nightmare with all the restrictions, lockdowns, studying and working remotely. My grandfather is holding on, the photos with some detailed captions I put together for him were well received. Every day at work we get an equal amount of cancellations and new bookings. One day we’ll definitely explore together what Saint Petersburg and it’s surroundings have to offer 🌏
