Som...Bibi - They get close to my mom's windows too! Some years, a doe will raise a fawn near her house, so they grow up being comfortable with the noises and activities in the house and garden.<BR/><BR/>Laurie - My mom has a high perimeter fence around her garden, but if she accidentally leaves the gate open, the more experienced deer sneak in for some delicious browsing.<BR/><BR/>Valeria - Thanks, I thought so too!<BR/><BR/>Halcyon - I like to see them too, but I also like them to keep some wildness about them. It seems more dignified for them.<BR/><BR/>Walker - Thank you. I've had other opportunities to take deer pictures, but encountering these shadows this time made me stop and do it. <BR/><BR/>Kym - I'm glad you mentioned that. I left that out of the post. My "moment" happened over on the coast highway about ten years ago. I was going slow enough that the deer walked away, but it destroyed one headlight and part of the grill even then. She must have had painful broken ribs, or worse. I've never seen deer retreat from those bumper whistles, so I'm not convinced.<BR/><BR/>Chuck - Man, that would be miserable! I'm glad you're vigilant.<BR/><BR/>V - Well, that sure puts a positive spin on it!<BR/><BR/>Jill - You know, I think head honchos and inexperienced politicians are famous for it. Probably a function of being "in the spotlight" for them.<BR/><BR/>P - I would have liked to have stopped along the narrow drive behind the trees on the right, but I didn't want to scare them off. When the road took a dog-leg further on, I then stopped and zoomed.<BR/><BR/>Kim - Thank you. I was lucky to have a reason to be on this private ranch that day, and asked if I could take pictures on the way out. Classically pastoral, and everything was beautifully built and maintained. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for looking in, all my dears!USelainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15551995221350532168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345176050895872295.post-29219166087768035292009-01-30T19:39:00.000-08:002009-01-30T19:39:00.000-08:00Elaine, I love the composition of your black tail ...Elaine, I love the composition of your black tail deer photo.

My mom's neighborhood is overrun with them. She gave up trying to plant flowers in the yard years ago becasue they were basically just salad for the roaming deer. I loved it when my nephew was a toddler and he used to stagger out into the backyard saying, "Here, deer!"Laurie Alleehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14460272282273523408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7345176050895872295.post-14590621596424417962009-01-30T00:26:00.000-08:002009-01-30T00:26:00.000-08:00My mother often had deer in the yard of her former...My mother often had deer in the yard of her former home.
