Oh deer!

After a great sail to Rochester, we made our way to Schooners for dinner.  Unfortunately, we headed out a little later than usual, and the place was packed, so rather than wait for over an hour and a half, we made other arrangements for dinner.  On our way there, just beyond the Shumway gate, there is an open field, and we saw a couple of deer.  On the way back, about an hour later, there was a whole herd - 8 or 9 at least.  They didn't seem to be bothered at all by the cars parking near the marina.  The next morning, I saw another deer in the same field.  Later when we were at Kathy and Ajay's in Webster, NY, we looked out into the yard, and there were another couple of deer in the neighbour's yard.  Very cool.

The forecast was for rain in the evening, so we took an early trip into town for the Webster Jazz Festival.  The music wasn't bad, but I don't know that you could actually call it jazz.  No matter.  Everyone was having a good time, and the band and crowds were captured on film by a drone flying overhead.  I think that's the first time I've really seen one in action.  It's a little weird, but probably a sign of things to come.
