My neighborhood is overrun with deer these days. It is not uncommon for me to come home and find extended deer families “chilling” in my front or back yard. A friend sent me this photograph of such a family enjoying the shade under her children’s trampoline. I can’t help but wonder whether trampoline manufacturers take the risk of deer antlers into consideration in the design of their products!

Hey Jim
I would have to say not. But that is beautiful, you guys are really fortunate to with wildlife like that one on one. I know this sounds a bit dim, but didn’t think there were Deer in texas. Goes to show how media can portray the wrong thing, like texas just being a big dessert. Nice pic tho. thanks.
