Just Standing Around

Posted by Betty (Phillipsburg, United States) on 9 July 2008 in Animal & Insect and Portfolio.

This doe was in the trees next to the walkway at Merrill Creek Reservoir. I guess she thought I couldn't see her because the fact that I was about 10 feet away didn't concern her at all!

She looks very shy indeed. I like the light and the warm earthy tones.

I love your yard, it is a most interesting place and this is a great picture of the deer. I saw one the other night, but unfortunately we were in our car and I didn't have my camera handy, so I missed out.

My guess is someone is feeding her. She seems somewhat tamed. I'm loving the wildlife shots, Betty. :^)
