Oh Deer!

I've been watching these deer almost every evening. Tonight I went out early and sat and took photos. That is with my Landlords permission as he is the one who feeds them. He went out with his can of corn and I sat on his front porch waiting. There were no deer in sight but as soon as he rattled the can of corn about 10 deer came running out of the brush. It was so cute...They ran right up to him and started feeding. He loves it and sits and watches them. He knows each individual deer.


A few of the does and fawns.
The deer here are pretty small from what I'm used to in the North.
Here comes the little 6 point buck or as Michael says "Duck!"


One of the fawns.

He's beautiful, actually they're all beautiful.

I was laughing as you can see a round spot of dirt, from where they were eating on the ground, on her nose and mouth.

This was my Landlords favorite photo of the evening...I liked the doe above.

Uh Oh! Spooked!


Trying to decide which way to go...

I had fun but was disappointed with the photos. I used the Sigma telephoto lens and the photos weren't very clear or crisp. It was getting dark and I had to up the ISO to 800 and I hate doing that...I'm hoping to try again next week, practice makes perfect!

I have never seen a deer in real life, these photos make me feel like I am right there with you!
