Deer Crossing



My backyard is a deer highway, and my garden is Mickey D's.  

Seriously.

But they are sort of cute, aren't they?  I was about twenty feet from this young fellow when I snapped his picture with my zoom lens. 

 Last night I was shooting some flower macros in the garden when I startled a fawn about three feet away, nestled for a nap behind the peonies.  At first I thought it was a rabbit, because it was lying down and I just saw it's back.  I think it was just as surprised as I was.  I stood there, camera in hand, mouth gaping, and just watched it run away into the wilderness at the edge of the lawn.

Didn't get a single picture.  Aaaarrrgh!
