Deer at Dawn

Morning Log.

It's almost 8 am and the dogs are impatient to get outside for their morning relief. It's not full daylight yet and I need to check for deer in the yard before I dare open the door to let dogs out.


Since I have nothing else to blog about today, I decide to grab my camera and see if there's enough daylight to get some decent deer pictures. There wasn't, but I didn't let that stop me from trying.


At first all I can see is one of this year's fawns.


Mom (guessing) came out from behind the tree on the left.

After making sure there were no cars coming down the road, I opened the window and told them to scoot. Four white tails leaped across the road and into the woods.

After a minute, the dogs and I left the house for our early morning walk.

  1. Deer around here run across the road, up my driveway, and back into the swamp. Our property is a quarter-mile deep, and it's the biggest unfarmed patch they can find.

  2. Great photos! Lately we've seen pictures of local bobcat visitors and in a n'borhood to the north a bear. I guess the foraging is tough due to our cool wet summer. We've just had raccoons......
