It must be nice to have some deer around. Your shots reminds me that I haven’t seen a single deer since deer season started.

Nice catch, Susie! Lots of deer in my area, but they don't like to show themselves very often

Thanks all.. Poor Jim.. Bet you were bummed about your tree.. My brother puts fencing around his baby fruit trees til they grow tough enough to take the abuse from the deer.. Good luck with yours.. Once they know it's there they will keep coming back, ya know.. :frown:

Nice image, Susie. I enjoy trying to photograph deer. Good choice with the vertical comp.

Thanks for sharing

Really nice, Susie. The stuck-out tongue gives it a fun character. We have lots of deer, but haven't seen them much lately. Their tracks in the snow are the only indication that they're still around.
