The Buck Stops Here

On Tuesday evening this six point buck strutted into my yard. I've seen him before but not this close.

At the same time our youngest fawn visitor and mama were in the front yard area just to the left of where the buck was in the above photo.

Hanging out in the backyard near the woods was our oldest fawn visitor and mama and a friend of the family.

Very close to and eyeing my Rose of Sharon bushes were these two. Notice the still golden red color of the deer on the left. The deer on the right has begun to take on the light gray color of winter's insulated coat.

The fawns and their mamas have been around all summer with other occasional doe making an appearance a couple of times a smaller buck as well. It's that time of year when we see more and more deer. For those of you anxious for cooler weather it's a sure sign fall is on the way.

All of these beautiful creatures were in my yard on Tuesday evening. A couple more got scared seeing me peeking out the window and tip-toeing around the deck and they ran away from their portrait session. Wait till the rest of the crowd tells them they missed their fifteen minutes of fame!!!! I bet they'll be back.
