Most of my pictures of the deer are taken from the front deck. They are about sixty yards away. Here's a typical view of mama and the babies grazing in the tall grasses and wildflowers of a wild patch we only mow once a year in the middle of the yard.
These are from a month ago and they are much bigger, but still fully spotted. I haven't seen them in August yet. Maybe they are in a safe spot for the opening of deer season next week and only coming out at night.
They saw me up on the deck and took off across the yard. Love that flag!
They ran to a dark shady spot even farther away and then just stopped and looked back at me.
I was able to zoom in and see them well after lightening the shot some. I think they thought I couldn't see them there in the dark.
So sweet!
ReplyDeleteThey are so beautiful and you are fortunate to get to watch them in your yard like that! Wonderful photos. I'll never understand how someone can shoot a beautiful creature like that with anything other than a camera.
ReplyDeleteOh Bruce, I think I have to come and visit you just to see the cute fawns for myself. They are delightful!!! A pity all these cute things have to grow up!! :)
