Description
Deer Watching
A white-tailed deer munches on some leaves. She watches three women peering through their binoculars. They are looking for wildlife such as deer. While they look, the deer placidly watches them.
This is an acrylic painting on a 24 by 36 inch canvas. It is a composition of my own imagination. Yet, it is based on an afternoon I spent with some friends at the Great Outdoors RV and Golf Resort in Titusville, Florida. My friends were driving me around in a golf cart showing me many of the wildlife trails. They carried binoculars and I carried my camera. I nearly didn't see the deer, who was standing just a few inches from me on one of the trails. Fortunately, my friends pointed her out. She was relatively tame and didn't mind my getting right up close to photograph her. I suspect this isn't an uncommon phenomenon. Just the same, I was delighted.
I made the background look as it does in this area. It is a bit swampy and full of vegetation and wildlife. Palm trees and oak trees are everywhere out there.
The resort is right next to the Blue Heron Wetlands. Blue Heron Wetlands is a constructed wetlands designed to be a biological filtering system that reduces nutrient levels of treated water before reaching the St. Johns River. The man-made wetlands cover 300 acres and can process over 6.75 million gallons of water a day. Completed in early 1998 and opened to the public for Bird Watching and Wildlife Viewing, the wetlands are just as wild as they would have been 100 years ago, and attract numerous species of birds and other wildlife.
Some of the more noteable species found here are sandhill cranes, which nest here, heron species such as great blue, little blue, green, and night herons, snowy and greater egrets, ducks, coots, rails, comorants, anhingas, and many other aquatic bird species as well as otters, alligators, and turtles. White tail deer have also been spotted here.
