Young deer, tried stopping by my lilies for a snack! I took this picture through the window but accidentally left the flash on from the last pic taken… This is the moment the deer noticed me - it didn’t bolt until I started opening the door! (and it didn’t seem to get any of the lilies… this time)

    Two deer wandered through the yards on my street on the 4th of July. Poor things were probably scared by the fireworks, just like my pups were. They must not have stayed upset though, because they were calm enough to eat all my gladiolus blooms! lol! I didn’t mind :)

    You should get a deer crossing sign and put it near your house so the deer know to stop by more.

    Have you thought about putting up a feeder (if local regulations allow it)? They’re beautiful creatures, had family in West Virginia, way up in the boonies, the fawns are extremely cute.

        Forgot about the ticks hahaha, got them once or twice as a kid then decided to just preemptively use all the products when we would visit.

        They had a huge plot of land though so I doubt they were worried about adding more ticks.

    For just a split second I thought I was looking at a Kangaroo. To be fair if I had yummy flowers to each and no grocery store I’d be all over them too. Great shot.
