On one of those wonderful sunny afternoons this past week, I happened to look out my window and I had eleven deer...all at once. I know that's a record! Unfortunately, because of the narrowness of my window, I couldn't capture the whole group together. The deer were engaged in a variety of behaviors.
Many were eating from the three feed blocks that I have provided for "their" yard. With the weather having been so severe this winter, they are always hungry.
Others were lying down in the snow, catching an afternoon snooze.
Bathing in the sunshine, nearly asleep, I'm guessing this deer was grateful for the warmth of the sun...even if the temperatures only hovered around zero.
Your deer look very contented and grateful, Karen. Despite the very cold, hard winter, it seems to me that the deer look very healthy in our neck of the woods -- nice and sleek and brown, not scrawy and grey, as they can look around this time of year. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteHi Pamela...Yes, I think the deer look good for what they've been through this winter. Even last spring they looked quite "ribby" and I don't see happening thus far. Perhaps the extra feed blocks are paying off. Karen
ReplyDeleteSweet series, Karen! I especially like the great setting and wonderful play of light and shadows you

Thank you, Jan. I really enjoyed doing this series. You know my love for these deer. I like the third one down also, but my favorite is the second to the last image, the one with the single deer napping. Karen
