A group of deer frequent our surroundings,
and we sometimes think of them as our herd,
but they watch us too, and probably think of us as their people.
We never tire of seeing the little ones,
those inquisitive fawns...
as they get acquainted with their neighbors...
and trot off obediently behind their mothers.
The big bucks, we see them rarely.
With new velvet, their antlers are tender,
and they are, for the most part, nocturnal.
A group of them came through our field a few days ago,
before full light.
They didn't stay long,
and they seemed aware of the stir they were causing among the does and fawns.
This young fork horn buck still eats with his sister.
He watched the parade of large bucks,
and he dreams of the day he can run with the big boys.

The deer look so elegant and delightful. The antlers make me want to touch them to know how they feel.
Thank you Connie, for letting peek into your world. Very peaceful to see these deer.
Absolutely stunning. What a blessing to witness.
Just beautiful to watch. Great photos Connie.
Beautiful deer shots, Connie. I love the brother and sister grazing together and the inquisitive fawn approaching a big bird which could be a wild turkey. Deer are such graceful animals and you have captured their beauty so well!
Fantastic photos! The fawn and turkey shot is great! That's a very nice group of bachelor bucks! Those are some big boys.
Relaxing place .. beautiful Deer pictures.. Cheers..

I'm not an expert when it comes to this. Didn't even know this was possible. Useful read, appreciate your posting this.
I'm jealous. I keep wanting to photograph deer in the wild. I just haven't had a chance yet.
