OR a Deere Dear. Turns out deere is not just a tractor brand, but an archaic spelling of both; deer and dear.
I can’t help but think of Timothy & Dale, as I write this. Tim because we were gagging around in comments with the word “deer/dear/deere”. Dale because she posted some pics of deer in her Wordless Wednesday spot on Marc’s blog.
Anyway, this is one of those high up murals that I had to try hard to capture.
It is a unique dear deer deere!

Wow! What an amazing find, Resa. Deer goddess, I assume. I love how the artist got the draping of the fabric.
I had heard about this deer. I went out to find it, but it was evading me. There was a door. I wasn’t sure what it was an entrance for, but I went inside anyway. Turns out it was a courtyard, and there was the deer.
It’s so much fun hunting down street art!
I love tagging along on your hunt for street art!
I should get a pith helmet!

A mythic quest! 😊

Hi Resa, this is a fascinating mural: the body of a woman and the head of a deer. That is a first for me. It is very eye catching.
Well Robbie, it’s a first for me too.
It is eye catching. The technique is different, too. It must have taken the artist a long time drawing this line by line by line.
It is very effective.
I love images of deer, they seem to be my spirit animal and this is stunning
Ah… your spirit animal. The first thoughts I had when I saw this deer were it seemed like a spirit.
It’s quite unique.
It is
Definitely a dear deer! Wish the artist had a touch of color! A girl likes a bit of bling!
Lol! I’ve seen about a half dozen works by this artist, and it’s all black and white line drawings. It’s his style, and he’s sticking to it…. so far!
I have some blingy art coming up!
It’s beautiful. Elegant, just like they are.
Yes, beautiful creatures. This says a lot! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JSNr9NxOdAx
Wow! And such a forceful symbol of diversity – the head of a male deer on a female body…
Stay safe, dear Resa!
Yes… diversity! It surely is a unique piece, both in statement and style.
You stay safe too, dear Martha!
An unusual deer but beautifully photographed, Resa. Thanks for sharing this mural.

Getting fancy, eh?

Trying a new signature. I like the original best. OX OX OX OX.
You are welcome dear John!
We had a snow storm las night. The photographer is coming from out of the city, so we postponed until tomorrow.
Yay…I get to stress for 1 more day!
What came first, the deer or the OX?
💋 🦌🐂 💋 🐂🦌 💋
OX is first. 🐂🐂🐂🐂
Dear Sorceress!
I love how you reveal this one bit by bit and I am rather amazed that you managed to capture all of this beauty. She is high up! Such beautiful detail, as well.
It was a fun challenge, to capture this.
So, now we have both captured deer. You have a nature deer. I have a cement deer.
This is the only style I’ve seen from this artist; black and white lines. ⚡️💥
I bet it was!
And you are right. We both have.
Black and white lines done just right, I say. 🧚♀️🌟
Oh dear. That is quite a deer. Or deeress. It’s a really great find. Was that the one you were looking for when you found the previous post?
Yes, this is the deer, my dear!
After all our gagging, how could I not think of you. As well as it gave me the title for the post! xo
I noticed that Deere in the title. It’s very dear to the deer. Dear!
It’s dear to the deere who posted the deer, as well! xo
Resa – you have captured a wonderful photograph collection of “A Deere Deer.” I especially appreciate how you position each photo to give us a fresh perspective of this mural.
Thank you, Rebecca.
I do try to capture the pieces in a way that I can present how they make me feel when I first see them. Finding this deer was like finding a spirit.
It looks like a spirit! Hugs!
What a wonderful, hard-earned find, Resa, photographed superbly! Instead of the Court Yard Hounds (a Dixie Chicks musical side project), we have the Courtyard Deer/Human. 🙂
It was a crazy day. I’m hoping for more!
Thanks Dave, re: my photography! When I find these tall/high works, I think… how to take and how to present.
Dear Human,
We need to talk about how you are treating us animals.
Yours truly,
Deere Deer
Yes, many humans need to have that talk!
👍
Deer oh deer, I was admiring it from the first shots and then you gradually moved down the mural… That I did not expect! Love the way you presented it. What a mural, dahling! Love and hugs and
….special kisses form Hera, so …you know the drill! xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo
Aww, thank you, dahling!
It seems I presented it the way I first saw it. I saw the head, ten I looked down.
It’s a unique mural, for sure.

Oh Deer! Deere! Dear!
All three.
I see a deer and then I scroll down a little bit more and I see a deer who is posing as a philosopher and then I scroll down a little bit more and I see a deer who is posing as a philosopher and is that? Could it be? Nah! But yeah! It’s a . . . . nipple?
Oh dear!
Yes, well it’s a nipple deer.
Meh, what’s a nipple between deere friends.
MUAH
So sexy! Thank you for sharing.
MUAH!!
What a deer/dear/deere mural. So beautiful and elegant. Thanks, Resa. A wonderful find.
It is quite elegant, now that you mention it.
Lol, my vision went whacko when I was shooting it, then again when preparing the post.
It’s like some kind of optics trick with all those lines.
I had to post this before I did the Anne Bolyen post. The history is rich.
Have you started writing a new book?
The wavy lines didn’t bother me, but I was looking at a small pic on my computer. Yes. I started on a new book. I’m trying for 1,000 words a day, but not really putting much pressure on my self. Life is too busy!
Yes, hectic is the word!
Hey, the book is started. It will take on a life and speed of its own!
I like that you showed so many different angles, Resa. You made it look easy, but I could understand the difficulty when I saw the shot from farther back. Great job. Hugs.
Thank you, Teagan!I’m thrilled to have this in my collection!
Hugs!
❤️ stunning
❤️ Agree! ❤️
Dear deer, deere – I think you are a unique beauty. So elegant. I hate to pry, and I know it is culturally unacceptable to ask, but I had to wonder if you are trans. Perhaps you were born in a human body but identify as a deer? Or the other way around? Oh, yeah, and the horns are quite becoming, if usually seen on deer that identify as male. Anyway, I have not seen a deere that I did not think was gorgeous, and you, dear, are no exception.
Great capture, Resa! It does look like a difficult location, but you did a wonderful job.
You are a dear, deere, deer whisperer, Trent!
There he goes again, talking to art.
Art could be a person, but not.
It ws actually a lot of fun trying to capture this piece. Thank you!
Doesn’t everyone talk to art? lol. But it is a great piece of art and a super capture. Glad the challenge of capturing it was fun. 🙂

This mural reminds me of old etchings. Quite a find!
True Liz, it is like an etching. Everything I have seen from this artist is in this technique.
It’s a goody.
Particularly on such a large scale.
Crazy!
A darling deer my dear. Is there anything more elegant than a deer and this artist has capture all that and ventured beyond your average deer to perhaps a god/goddess deer.
Lovely find dearest Resa. xoxoxo
I think a goddess dear deer sounds good.
It’s a unique piece, and fab for the collection.
It’s quite the treat to find street art, let alone a mural this unusual.
xoxoxo
So agree, it’s unusual and unique and beautiful 😍 xoxoxo
Absolutely beautiful!
The spelling of the words between past and now (and I am sure the future as well) is one of my most favourite things to temper with while writing, the words Dear and Deer being ones I often like to experiment with.
That is why you are such a fabulous poet, dear deere Oloriel!
Great to see you!
I rather like pencil art. I imagine a gal up a ladder with a pencil at work. Brilliant. Regards, TOF
TOF, it’s a good one! A magic pencil at work.
Excellent find, Resa. I love the mythological or (even) Pagan theme to it. Kudos to the artist and thanks as always for sharing your pics!
Yes,Pagan is a good word for it…. in a good way! 😉🙃🥰
Wow, my Deer! Such an imagination for creating such beauty. My dear Resa, it is the dearest Deer I have ever seen. Thank you! 🙏🦌💖
You are welcome! 🙏🦌💖
Hi Resa, fabulous deer my dear! I like the hatching effect – very similar to the shading on banknotes. Oh and I may have a picture or two for you from a far away land – I’ll send you them when I can but I’m a bit off the grid at the moment. ok!
OK!!
Excellent. Could be Diana the “huntress”?
(Love the sketching technique of short lines… )
Yes, could be Diana. The technique is quite unique for street art. xo
Quite, quite.. I saw something very similar in the Latin quarter in Paris a few years ago. Lemme see if I can find the post.
Okay!!
No. I was thinking of another post of yours. The comment remains, quite unique a technique for street art. (And another proof of talent of street artists…)
