A couple of evenings ago, I decided to wander around outside after supper with the camera and iPad, just to see what I might find to take photos of. I almost switched from my zoom lens to the regular one on the DSLR, but for some reason decided not to.
First I saw this milkweed flower, which seemed extra bright and pretty in the golden hour sunshine.
Then I turned around, and much to my surprise, I saw this staring at me!
Was I ever glad I'd left the zoom lens on! It wasn't terribly far away, but the zoom was needed for shots like these.
It posed nicely, then trotted off for a different pose. Very cooperative subject, it was.
Such a dainty, lovely creature! I love how the spotted area of its coat looks like a blanket was laid across its back.
It stomped its little foot at me a couple of times, then off it went, showing off its feathery white tail.
What fun shots! Yes, my day was made! These are some of my favorite photos ever, and I think I'm going to print them all.

Very nice shots of that deer! And how nice of him (her?)to pose for you!
My mother-in-law has deer in her back yard constantly, and we used to joke that they were standing there saying to each other "look- there's that woman! Stand still and maybe she won't see us. Oh no, she's going for the camera again!" Her shots were never as good as these.
Thank you, Ellen and Jenny! :)
So true for the blanket on the back! Those are really awesome pictures, totally worth printing. :)
Thank you, friend! :)
That tail! Great photos!
Thanks, AD! :)
