10-30, Deer

As you already know, we have a lot of deer in our neighborhood.  I take a few pics a week of them with my phone, maybe post one or two to Facebook, but that's usually it.  Since not everyone is as fortunate as we are (I say this, because we're also lucky enough to have a fenced backyard!), I'm going to make more of an effort to share some of my deer pics.  Here are a few I've taken over the past few weeks.  

The big bucks seem to live on the other side of the neighborhood.  I found these when I took a walk near Emalie's school.  Those are some big boys!  A day prior to this, there had to have been at least a dozen of these big bucks 'hanging out' near the new fence that was being put in at the school.  The guy doing the work stood no less than 10' from the herd.  Craziest thing!!

I complain a lot about our elevated entry into our house (and dad's thinking, "I told you so!" when I admit that).  One of the perks though is this up close view I have of our front lawn from the basement window.  This lady was about 4' from the window, snoozing away.  You get used to the deer around here, but at that moment it hit me how amazing that really is.

I took this picture from our master bedroom on the top floor.  I'm looking down at the same patch of grass as the photo above, but it gives you an elevated perspective of where the deer like to congregate.  Silly creatures!
