Oh, Deer
For the past several weeks, we’ve had a pair of deer traipsing up our driveway, sleeping under the mimosa, and picking crabapples from our neighbors’ trees. We think it’s a doe and her baby. This evening, we spotted the larger one in the backyard so I snuck outside to get a few shots. She crossed the pasture next door and vanished into the brush.
In the five years we’ve lived here, we have only seen the occasional deer and they would always sprint off. These two have been hanging around all summer, watching us, easing closer to us. I’m thrilled I was able to catch one before they decide to move on.
