So let’s go.

Looks like dad had babysitting duties.

A newborn in our Agave bed.

Another in the rocks. (Why stones, you have to wonder?)

Bigger and doing our own thing.

Boys’ night out. (Notice the velvet on the antlers.)

“Hey, you. Contact my agent if you want photos.”

Well looks like the deer are doing fine. I hope you have a good week. Now listen to Big and Rich and enjoy the brunch.

  7. They all seem to be doing quite well. It would seem the rocks would hinder a young deer in getting to its feet, but who am I to question nature. A wonderful tour today, John, thank you.

  11. The babies are so cute, John. You do have to wonder why they like the rocks. Maybe Charles is right. In any case, I’m glad you spotted them.

    I’ll go with that classic breakfast – two eggs (over medium), maple sausage, potato wedges, buttered toast, strawberry preserves. Can we make that sourdough toast?

  16. Watch where you walk !!!

    Rocks will be warm for them.

    We live maybe 25 feet from a forest preserve and see deer, coyotes, fox and more. Fun
    Enjoy

  17. That there is a fun tune, tell you what. I am constantly amazed by the quantity of deer that just roam around willy-nilly, unafraid. Beautiful shots.

  23. We have a few neighbors but live in a reasonably woody area. I just came in from mowing the lawn on my riding mower, and three deer waltzed by like it was an everyday occurrence—quite a strange feeling.

  33. Wow, so many Bambis!
    I saw a young deer once.
    I saw a deer once…. once.
    Paperboy Pancake is a delish way to start the day. I’ll have a pot of black coffee to go with that!
    So many deer.. are the people in the area kind to them?
    Are the little creatures displaced?

    Certainly, you live in an interesting area. Nice!
