White-tailed Deer

 Deer in the middle of path

The deer must be very hungry to be out during daylight hours.  Clearly, this one knows I'm there with my camera.

Pondering the situation

Wondering if it should stay and munch on some yummy red-osier dogwood or follow the rest of its kin.

Turning off the path

It chewed off a few stems and then followed its family.

I am linking with Saturday Critters HERE.

    They can be skittish, but this one seems okay. Beautiful!

    I love that first portrait!!!! Maybe you are just in an area where they are used to being fed, and so have lost their fear of people...

    I guess you can't call this a deer caught in the headlights look... just one caught out in the open.

    I'm with you. I hate crowded beaches. But one must admit this is a pretty attractive place to be - especially on the weekends! :)

    That must have been fun to find that beauty on the path. The White Tail Deer is so much prettier than our Mule Deer that we see here.

    Great photos. We don't get deer, nearby, so it's great to see some closeups.

    Great shots. We have lots of deer here in East Texas and we occasionally see them in our meadow, in our driveway, and in our backyard. They're always a treat to spot.

    Interesting, our deer are here all the time! I hauled in some wood, and spotted several in the forest.
    They are at the end, hopefully, the snow won't melt too quickly, and freeze plants, but we'll see what happens!

    The deer looks to be healthy and that is good. Last spring the deer around here were so skinny.

    We have been seeing more and more deer out during the day here too. I think they are getting hungry for Spring just as we are. Nice images. MB

    Lots of deer visit us in the mountains. They are quite used to us and unless we startle them we can watch them from the deck as they wander about.
