oh, deer!



These deer wandered through our yard a few weeks ago before all the snow was gone. We were happy to see that so many survived the winter, and they looked in pretty good shape. We love to watch them, sometimes in late spring and early summer a doe and fawn (sometimes twins!) will come and munch on various plants. We do chase them away if they start to eat any of the perennials, but overall they don't bother too many of our plantings.

this is the whole herd in the field next to our house









they were eating some of the twigs and branches

they are standing behind one of my red twig dogwoods here, they didn't eat any of that



they came across the creek to check out the birdfeeder



I took all these pictures from inside the house, through the window
