Good Morning!

Looked out our window this morning to these three wandering around our yard, which is really 7 acres of woods adjacent to hundreds of acres of woods with an occasional house or farm. They pruned our mock orange and weeded some flower beds before they wandered off.

What' that? This one was the most curious and came the closest to the house.

No exclamation point, just time to wander on.

NOT Too Close, and NOT Very Personal

The deer enjoy the hay fields just about every evening, but these aren't State Park kind of deer; they are very wild.  You can't get much closer than a couple of hundred yards to them or they dash into the woods.  You can barely tell it's a deer and not a big dog, even zoomed all the way out on the 210mm, unless you crop in, and then the quality really suffers, just not enough pixels.

The last of my Pennsylvania fauna for now, but very much not close and personal like the bugs.  More flora to follow, though.

Shenandoah Deer

This deer, even though she is wild, just stood by the road eating, and let several cars drive within feet of her and let me stop and take several photos.  In the game of chicken, she won; we left first.
