May 20, 2011-A toad's night out. Actually there were three of them close to the base of this tree. I could just about make out where they were, I had the street light and then added my flash. Took a few shots and then when I shined a flash light on to the area I realized my chair was on top of hundreds of ants coming out of all these tiny holes in the ground. Before my chair and I became ant chow, I was in reverse and scrambling to get onto the street. Not sure why I figured that would help but at least I wasn't on top of the dirt.

  • June 12, 2011-Still waiting, no babies yet. But I did have a chat with them regarding this. Shortly after taking this we had a big t-storm and down pours. I am hoping she didn't deliver during the storm. (Day 163:365 @sharkbayte).
  • June 4, 2011-Siesta time, once the deer have eaten this is how they usually chill out in my yard. Tonight there was the usual five scatter about like this. (Day 155:365 @sharkbayte)
  • June 1, 2011-Just checking in. Grabbed a quick shot of these three eating. The rest were on the sides out of frame. I am hoping they have their babies soon, the does look like they are going to pop. (Day 152:365 @sharkbayte)
  • May 22, 2011-Moms to be. The does are looking great, I am hoping the babies will be coming soon. I really liked how the light came through the trees on this one. I have a hard time getting the correct exposure when they are under the trees. (Day 142:365 @sharkbayte)

  • May 8, 2011-You're never too old for your Mom's love. Here is the Mom kissing (okay cleaning) her sons face and eventually his ears. The sister sits watching. These three sleep in the yard at night. I have been watching them since I moved here last year. Surprisingly the son hasn't left and both the mom and the sister are pregnant. Happy Mother's Day!!

  • May 01, 2011-Peek-A-Boo. I can't be sure if she was playing or pretending to be camera shy. Either way I caught her. (Day 121:365 @sharkbayte)
  • April 29, 2011-Stopping by for a quick grazing. I haven't seen the deer in weeks. I was a bit worried but they are back and the little button buck is growing fast, his antlers are sprouting more and he is thin but overall looking good, which made me happy. (Day 119:365 @sharkbayte) Thank you for all the wonderful comments on my shot yesterday!
  • April 1, 2011-Eating for two - This doe appears pregnant; if she actually is pregnant, May or June she should be arriving with a little one. Her son from 2010 is still in the group, she chased him away from the apple a few minutes after this. Day 91:365 @sharkbayte

  • March 20, 2011-Standing guard. The deer returned last night after having been gone for a while. I was good to see them back and sleeping in the yard again. 79:365 @sharkbayte
  • March 17, 2011-On the lookout for the cats. The cats seemed to be everywhere today. This little guy ran on top of this rock to get a better view of where the cats were. He didn't stay too long. If you view it at larger sizes you can see how sharp his nails are. 76:365 @sharkbayte
