Doh! A Deer!

I walked up to the window and there she was...right in our very own back yard! I wondered how this could be, I've never heard of deer in yards this urban.

Then again, the land our house is on was a small woods less than a year ago. Maybe she used to live here?

By the time I raced into the office and grabbed my camera, which as fate would have it had the wrong lens on it, the deer had skipped through the gap in the fence into the neighbor's yard. I managed to get off two unfocused shots before she was gone.

Here's the first shot of her...

...what? You don't see her? Oh, c'mon, are you blind? Ok, look closer...

...no? try this...

...still not catching on? Here's 100% zoom...

...that furry blob behind the bush, that's her! See the ear?

Later in the day, I was doing a shoot in the park when she showed up there...here's another rushed, blurry shot...

...this time I hope you saw her.

You are so funny, you had me laughing out loud! Remember the post I did a long time ago about woodland visitors? http://wildmarymoments.blogspot.com/2008/07/woodland-visitors.html

They are all the more beautiful for how mysterious and subtle they can be.
