I came across this deer chowing down on apricots. There were three trees in the field, all of which have very ripe and seemingly abandoned fruit. He didn’t seem much bothered by me as I stopped to admire the scene.
There were many apricots on the ground but this guy was picking them right from the trees.
I’m glad he found the trees and is having some good meals – he was there again the next day – it would be a shame for the fruit to go to waste.
Happy Monday; happy week. 🙂

This deer was lucky to find these trees. They probably have enough fruit to keep the deer well-fed for quite a while.

The trees are loaded and we noticed that he wasn’t going too far away from them. I’m glad that he has been able to tuck in, for next while, too!

He certainly did, and scene gave new meaning (or original meaning?) to the term “low hanging fruit!”

I love it when nature benefits from our waste.

I do, too. It seemed odd to me that all those perfectly ripe apricots were being left like that. I hope that he brought his friends along, as well!

Thank you, Benjamin. 🙂 You’re very welcome. I am doing well and beginning to feel rested, thanks for asking. There are lots of tree fruits grown here in the Okanagan Valley. 🙂

You’re welcome. That’s cool. No trees like that around here unless you go to an orchard, really. So it’s cool to see! Looks so lovely!

Thank you. 🙂 There are many, many vineyards as well. (Lots of wine!) People will grow vines and train them over trellises for shade in their yards. 🙂

Wow! That’s incredible. Not too much like that around here that I know of. Sure the flavors must be outstanding for wine lovers. 🙂

Great capture! I don’t blame the deer, I would go for the fruit still on the tree too!

Yes, me too! The fresh ones from the trees are so sweet and juicy, and this deer was really enjoying them.
