2011 Daily Photos
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)
Thank you for all the comments on shot of the gang, they were all so excited to read them!

on Jul 06Remarkable capture. The expression of the male in x3 view is amazing - his eyes seem to communicate awareness of you plus connection with his family.
