It seems like this has been a good year for deer. We’ve seen lots of them in the Dungeness Recreation Area, grazing in the lowlands. And, of course, they’ve been happy to sample nearly everything in our yard.
We’ve even noticed youngsters with their “bambi” spots in late summer, rather late in the season for deer that young. And most of the deer don’t seem very concerned about human approach. They’re much more interested in grabbing dinner than worrying about people – and a dog! – getting surprisingly close.
Getting close to deer is always a exciting moment for me.
Saw 15 turkeys and a doe in our backyard yesterday.
A terrific pair of shots. I’ve found it depends on the individual deer as to how skittish they might be.
Nice looking deer. That last shot is often the angle I end up getting whenever I try to photograph any!
What big ears! “The better to hear you coming so I can pose for you. Sorry about mooning you but I was getting a little tired of your demands!”
