Oh deer

Last week I hoped to bring you digital venison, but had to content myself with "another day." Well, it's another day, and this one grazed obligingly in someone's front yard a few feet from me, while I wrestled with my backpack to retrieve my phone.

This was just one of five that I cycled past today!

While I was getting out my phone, she ambled in front of me and started grazing. They aren't tame -- don't try to pet them -- but don't see people as a threat.

David, LOL! I haven't quite mastered the art of whistling and being surrounded by birds yet though.; June 18, 2011 at 8:32 AM
