What can I say...we love our deer


There are two fawns in this picture. One is next to its mom, the other is at the base of the pine with the brown in the top.

Click on this pic to enlarge. She spotted me through the kitchen glass.



As far as I can tell, there are 3 sets of deer. One set includes 3 does and 3 fawns. Another is a doe and her two fawns and a third is 2 does and 2 fawns.

At the beginning of the summer, we saw them almost every morning. They'd eat and leave. One afternoon we got the special treat of the pack of 6 coming and staying for a while. They ate and napped. As the heat increased, so did the length of time between visits. In the past week or so, we've seen them two or three times, and the fawns you see in the pics are now quite bigger. If they have any spots left at all, they are quite faint.
