Doe a Deer
The wildlife gods must be smiling on me lately. Yesterday as I was going out the door to work I see this deer standing just in the woodline behind my backyard munching on some brush. I quickly went back inside, got the camera and proceeded to snap as many pictures as the deer let me before it was spooked off by a barking neighbor's dog. The pics are a little grainy due to the poor lighting and slow shutter speed but I was happy to get the ones I did!

Wow, I like the deer. It must wait its mate.

Gorgeous shots. I like the second one. The sun is like a spotlight on the deer.

Very nice! It's always hard to get good pix of deer because they're so fast and skittish. Great job!

Seems deer love my neighborhood this year. I've been carrying the camera around in the car lately on the lookout for fall foliage pictures so coming home from work yesterday I happened upon these deer right down the street from my house. A momma and her two younguns were happily munching on apples right in a neighbors front yard barely 20 feet from the road! Hardly alarmed at my presence or the flash of the camera, they sauntered off into the wood line after a few minutes.

Excellent!
When I pull in the yard they hardly pay any attention, especially at apple time. As soon as I open the car door, they're history.
