We've been seeing this little family around for several months now. I took the picture through the screening on the porch last evening. We think the two standing together might be twins. They are young....still have their spots. The adult with them is surely their mother. They were all quite nervous, being so close to the house, I think. And the flies were causing them to stomp and twitch and flip their tails up and down. I would love to have gotten a better angle for the picture, but I was afraid to move for fear I would spook them. We see deer often here on the farm, but there is still something magical about observing them up close.

Dianne....seeing deer is always exciting for me. We see deer every once in a while here in Michigan, especially the further "up north" one travels.

Ok, I don't know why the name came up "Tim" when I posted that comment. Just wanted you to know it's me.

how peaceful. I hope they continue to visit and become more secure in the surroundings. More photo ops!
ReplyDeleteYou have such a beautiful farm. And the wildlife (as long as it plays nice) is the icing on the cake.
