the monarch of the glen he stands his mighty antlers defiant raised above his head his pearcing black eyes looking striaght a head his magnificent dark brown fur gleeming in the sun
his large black nose smells the air looking listening for the minor rustle of noise or breath of human smell looking over his domain that monarch of the glen his female deers all in toe follow where ever he go
the glint of the sun on his antlers shining bright as he stand in the day light the freshness of the country air the heat of the midday sun gently standing sometimes sitting on the ground resting in the miday sun chewing on the green lush grass munching having fun his do not disturb sign on his door hes haveing fun
in the back ground the dark green thick trees there they can run and hide from the humans they stare watching listening glaring he watches and waits protecting his females he watches and waits for signs of human presence and off he goes in to the woods they all go out of sight now hidden out of sight

I *LOVED* to watch the tv program, "Monarch Of the Glen". I catch it on Net Flix anytime I need a bit of the Scottish Highlands.
I'll be up that way this upcoming year for a wedding.
