This Mule Deer was hanging out eyeing a couple other males with much larger racks off across the way perhaps dreaming of joining them.
Maybe next year.

Ears and eyes
While watching a nice herd of mule deer one young Doe stood out and she was all ears and eyes.
Good Company
A mule deer makes good company while waiting for sun to warm things up in the early morning light and you don’t even have to share your coffee.
Anew
Hey what’s this?
The world dusted in snow.
To wake up and find the world anew.
Buck!
On a recent walk we were lucky enough to be able spend a fair amount of time observing and watching a very handsome Mule Deer Buck escorting his harem through the forest.
While we hung out and watched the whole group of deer pass through the male stood watch curious yet calm and quiet.
Before the group moved away and into the deeper reaches of the forest the male put his nose to the sky to make sure all were present and accounted for.
A nice surprise and the highlight of the stroll.
Ol’ Brown eyes
As we sat quietly waiting for a group of Waxwings to show up in the berry filled shrubs nearby this fine looking fellow strolled up to within 10 feet or so from us. He seemed not too worried about our presence and went about foraging as he made his way through the forest.
Family Portrait
Getting three out of four family members to cooperate for a portrait is not too bad.
Hope your week is off to a good start.
Oh Deer
Just a few family portraits of mom and the kids. We were lucky enough to have them spend the last month or two hanging around our area. A treat to sit and watch as the kids grow up they kept us active as well as much time was spent shooing them away from the garden.
One the the youngsters caught eyeing a nice patch of late-blooming flowers.
While their sibling snacks on wild sunflower seeds.
It’s hard to not smile at a face so cute but turn your back for a second and the petunias are toast.

White Tailed Buck
A white tailed buck slowly moves slowly through the fields of dried grass foraging on a few green shoots and the remains of a rocky mountain bee plant.
A regal fellow with head held high.
And a wonderful sight that brought some light to a cloudy gray afternoon.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend.
