and when we saw them , they were literally right at the back of our house. by the time we got kendal up, talked about the deer (which he would say deer, then he'd say dog), got his clothes together, THEN got the camera... they had moved into the woods. but, you can still see 4 of them.
there were 5 total: 2 young bucks with velvet antlers, 1 young doe, and 2 spotted fawns. the buck in the foreground is the 5 pointer. the two in the mid-ground are the doe and one of the fawns. in the background, you can hardly see him, but there is the other buck. the other fawn is hidden from view in this picture. they hung around for a good 15 minutes munching on our grass! i told nathaniel that was one benefit of NOT having a manicured lawn! :)
just this weekend we had a stray fawn in our yard, but it was so far back that kendal didn't see it. s/he also was munching on the grass. ha! i say grass, but what i mean is weeds.
cool, huh? nathaniel was excited. he said he hadn't seen a deer with horns except for the one that jumped over our car off of 401 - 2 years ago. i didn't know deer had horns. :P
i smell poop. time to change a diaper!

wild deer on the loose
what we woke up to this morning in the back yard:
and when we saw them , they were literally right at the back of our house. by the time we got kendal up, talked about the deer (which he would say deer, then he'd say dog), got his clothes together, THEN got the camera... they had moved into the woods. but, you can still see 4 of them.
