New kid on the block<br /> July 2, 2012- This little one was about 3 days old in this picture. She was walking with her "Mom and Dad". She wasn't scared of my wheelchair either. The cats that she is looking at off camera spooked her. Once the cats moved she ran like the wind.

  • Hanging on.<br /> August 5, 2012- I only saw him after I was watching the cardinals that were up in the tree. They were too far for me to shoot so got this guy instead. (Day 36/365)
  • Last to leave.<br /> July 10, 2012-This was the last fawn to leave the area. Today there were over 20 deer in the yard, bucks, does and 5 or 6 fawns. When I opened the door to let Fräulein out they were all in my yard. So I went back inside to grab my camera and this was the last one to leave. Day 10/365
  • Dancing Queens<br /> July 8, 2012-The girls were dancing for me. Okay not really they came very close tonight, just checking things out. Day 8/365

  • August 14, 2011 - A touching moment between the mom and her fawn. She was grooming them and then this one decided to give her some thanks back, okay a lick back, well that is how I interrupted it. Hope everyone is having a wonderful Sunday! (226:365)
  • August 5, 2011-The early evening light in the woods always catches my attention. While I was outside with Jasper the deer were here and I loved how the light was coming through the trees. (217:365)
  • August 1, 2011-After the t-storms cleared, the entire family came out to feed and relax. The twins were playing and running around. Here they started grooming each other before following "Mom" deeper into the woods. (213:365)
  • July 21, 2011-I finally caught the fawns playing in the yard. I have known and seen them for a few weeks, but they were shy and stayed in the woods. Tonight as I approached slowly, they came from behind their mother and came pretty close to me. However it was so humid my camera lens fogged. So those shots were not doable. Here they spotted one of the cats (out of frame) and they started to chase him. I was surprised they weren't scared of me and their mother just looked up when I got close and went back to eating. I guess she trusted me. (202:365)
  • July 18, 2011-He's becoming a big boy now. Showing off his antlers and taking charge of things. His Mom and sister where to the left of the frame. (199:365)
  • July 5, 2011-Family love. I watched the mother deer and her daughter eating for about 10 minutes. The son was off across the street eating, as soon as he came into the yard, I got to watch the most beautiful thing. The mother deer started licking (grooming) both siblings and vice versa, this went on for several minutes. After each had a turn and were satisfied they met up with the two other deer that stand watch and proceeded deeper into the woods. (186/365)
  • July 2, 2011, (183:365) I love living in the woods, and amongst the wildlife, as there is always something to see. This beautifully colored, docile snake was three feet from my front door and eye level with me. This is a Rough Green Snake. She was about 4 feet long, very slender and more afraid of me and the neighbors that came over to see her. She was wrapped in-between the lattice work. Also there was a baby praying mantis but when she turned around , he disappeared. (I am thinking lunch), but he could have flown off, I couldn't see what happened because of the angle. Anyway this type snake can be handled and they very rarely if ever bite. They eat insects.
  • June 30, 2011-She is getting more trusting with me. She actually came up to me tonight as I was trying to check on my garden. Usually she'll stay laying in the yard or by the tree. Not tonight. In a few frames she was so close I couldn't get a full shot without backing up. I thought perhaps she had a baby near by but you can see she hasn't delivered yet. In the distance is her son from last year. (Day 181:365 @sharkbayte)
