Back Yard Cuties

Back Yard Cuties

A white tail doe has been bringing her twins to the back yard lately. Yesterday (July 2/09) was the first time they stayed for any length of time. They were actually kind enough to let me wander back to the house, get the camera, change lenses and get back outside for a half dozen or so snaps.

    Ol’ mama must be getting used to us again. This is the first time she left them this long. Maybe I was supposed to be babysitting.
    Oh, well, I do the same thing when I’m watching kids, i.e. pull out the camera. :)

    Sometimes the life of a wildlife photographer is rough; sometimes it’s not. lol.
    Just about all the deer pics I’ve posted so far have been taken around the little pond of rushes in my back yard. Maybe I should just stay home more !! :)

    Deer Me! Is that a comment upon your feature, you clever man? These resemble lawn ornaments. They’re no taler than the grass behind them. What a beautiful scene and capture.

  • Stan Wojtaszek replied

    Cute little fellers, aren’t they. I’d guess somewhere between two feet and thirty inches at the shoulder.
    Thanks much for the looks and favs, Jan. Always appreciated. :)

  • jeffrae

    jeffrae

    Wonderful shot….I would never be able to pull off that amount of movement…the ones that visit my father-in-laws backyard are much to wary.

  • Stan Wojtaszek replied

    Thanks a lot, jeffrae ! :)
    After eight years here, these guys are beginning to tolerate us; still wary but don’t run at the first sign of us either.
