Look at that! Wow!

[shadowycat]

She is a pretty one! :D

Hello, neighbour!

[shadowycat]

There are definitely quite a few deer in the neighborhood. Most of them don't come quite this close, though. :D

[cmcmck]

We see deer a lot but never quite this close up! :o)

[shadowycat]

She didn't seem to be very afraid at all and got much closer than most deer I see around the neighborhood. :D

[marycatelli]

probably fed by humans

sigh

Those ones are often endangered by their fearlessness.

[shadowycat]

Sadly that's very true.

[highlyeccentric]

What sort of deer is that?

[shadowycat]

I'm not sure. I'm not up on the different species of deer, I'm afraid.

[batwrangler]

Looks like a whitetail (Odocoileus virginianus) doe whose milk has really let down!

[missizzy]

"Why are you looking at me, human?"

[shadowycat]

"Because you're so pretty and close!" :D

[yourlibrarian]

Ha! Well that visitor is hard to miss :D

[shadowycat]

She sure was! She certainly startled me when I turned around and found her so close behind me. :D

[earthspirits]

How lovely! This is an amazing photo.

[shadowycat]

Thanks! I'm glad you like it. She came back today for another taste of the backyard buffet. :D

[brownbetty]

Wow! Looks like she's nursing, too?

[shadowycat]

It looked that way to me, too, though I haven't seen any little ones with her, and she's been back more than once.
