Deer in Area 51

No, this ain't the greatest photograph in the world but they say a picture's worth a thousand words and I wanted to illustrate something. And please note that if you're really educated the original quotation was that a picture is worth ten thousand words. Look it up.

Anyhow, my point was that there really is a lot of wildlife around, and sometimes when I tell people for instance that there are deer in parks right in the centre of the city or near to it they just don't believe me. But it's true and here's the proof: a deer in a Toronto city park with the added bonus that you can see my car in the background! How cool is that? Now I won't tell you exactly which park this is, I'm going to call it Area 51 to denote that it's a secret but I will tell you it's only a few hundred square meters (or less) and that it's right at the intersection of a major Toronto street and a major Toronto highway. So it just goes to show you that a little protection and encouragement can go a long way for wildlife and you don't need to travel to Algonquin Park or Nunavut to see cool stuff. Just FYI, the image of the frog you can find on here somewhere also comes from my mysterious Area 51 and there'll be more of these in the future. And no, if you email me, I still won't tell you where it is.

Of course if you pay me....
