One notable aspect of Canyon Lake, Texas, is its deer
population. Our first morning there,
while shopping at a supermarket, we noticed a pallet stacked waist-high with
twenty-pound bags of deer corn. That
night, we walked the nearby gravel roads. While enjoying the sunset, we took several
photographs of the locals.

They ranged everywhere, from the grasslands surrounding the
lake, to the slopes leading to the weekend cabins and resorts, to a nearby RV
park, where music played from portable stereos, children shouted in jubilant
play, and smoking barbeques filled the air with mouthwatering aromas. The deer watched us while they grazed, and if
we drew too near, took a few quick steps away from us. The resort brochure had promised “numerous,
pet-like” deer. Well, they
didn’t oversell the numerous part.
The next day, we picked up some sodas at the
supermarket. As we left, we saw one remaining
bag of deer corn on the pallet. I guess we're not the only ones who enjoy watching the deer at Canyon Lake.
