We often see deer on the golf course behind our house in the late afternoon, but on Sunday we saw a mother and three fawns out at noon, which is very unusual.
Both Betsy and I went out to the deck to take some pictures. Mama Deer kept an eye on us, as you can see from the picture above.
The two largest fawns were enjoying the grass not too far away.
The smallest fawn stayed close to Mama. All we could see of it here was its legs and ears.
All three fawns decided they needed some liquid refreshment after their grass lunch. Mama doesn’t look too thrilled at the prospect.
I got a final family portrait before all of the deer disappeared between two houses further up the course.

We have frequent views of various herds, but usually they’re feasting on my perennials!

They’ve been eating all of our Fall mums, but that’s OK, I’d rather have the deer and babies ‘;)
Great shots George !

This looks like my world George. 🙂
I’m glad they stayed on the course and ate grass and not your plants.
