There Coming in Bunches

I took a look into the creek bed near my home this morning hoping to see my Deer friend. There is a log crossing the creek that has been there for many years giving me a path across without getting my feet wet. Today I was not only blessed to see my friend, but there on top of the log and with every intention of coming into my garden, were two other bucks. There was also a fourth one chewing on salmonberry branches away from the three. I guess because they saw me they did not come to my garden right away but passed through it an hour later.

Quite the trio you caught in this one.. I like the eye contact and unique pose you captured here. Great colors and detail too.

At first glance it looked like a two-headed deer ! Great find and what a terrific composition.

I like the colours and composition, Harold. We never see groups of bucks here.

Like that shot with three different angle of the heads. They are pretty nice and do nice photo but they are a real problem of infestation here. I use to have a house in the edge of the city. At spring time they where eating up all the new growth of flowers around the house. then in the season they keep chewing new leafs in the small bushes. No firearm is allowed and putting a fence is not really an option in town. Nothing to do except offers them coffee and donuts.

Great shot. Urban deer are becoming a nuisance here too Harold - perhaps the last few 'gentle and kind' winters have caused a boost in the population. Lots of yearlings wandering around eating every bit of green, including the neighbor's award winning landscaping. Got a few new deer shots myself - will post some after a few other irons in the fire cool down.

Very nice natural composition Harold. They look very comfortable with each other and you. I guess the word in the forest has spread that you have the garden to go to.
