Yesterday evening I decided to take a quick hike down to the creek when I saw something move not too far in front of me. I stopped immediately as I am always cautious when hiking due to all the black bears in our area. I didn’t spot anything at first until I heard the sound of leaves again and then I spotted four deer.
There are two deer in the above picture, do you see them?
There are three deer in the above picture, can you see them?
Make someone smile today! 🙂
Enjoy your day!

thank you Julie, I agree and it happens to me a lot around here because we have so much wildlife! 🙂
SO cute and alert! love how they blend!
yep, I didn’t see them at first, didn’t even know they were there until I heard leaves rattling. 🙂
So precious! I love deer and am always in awe if I encounter them at night driving on a peaceful part of the road.
If feels like a special gift when we’re allowed to come in such close contact with nature.
Hi Chava, I like seeing them around, we have a lot of them and they don’t bother anyone. Be careful driving in those areas with deer, it can be dangerous! 🙂
They are beautiful creatures. In that last photo you can see how curious they are, looking straight at you! Have a good day too Michael!
Hello Cathy! Yes, I agree! 🙂 They didn’t know what to do when they saw me, didn’t know if they should go back up the mountain or down the mountain!
What amazing photos !
Greetings
Good evening Ela, thank you, the deer was a surprise and I was lucky to get the pictures! 🙂
Deer are always around Zia’s home in rural Michigan. It’s not at all unusual to look out a window and see a deer not 4 feet away. I love to see them anywhere but along the roadside. You just never know which way they’ll jump.
Same here, we see the deer all the time! I agree, when they are around traffic, no telling what they will do!
I had to look twice to see two deer so close. They’re really cute. 🙂
Yes, thank you! 🙂
What a pleasant surprise! 🙂 Glad you had your camera with you!

Yes it was, me too! On the mountain were we live my wife and I don’t leave the house to walk to the mailbox or to hike without our camera and pistol. We have a lot of black bear around here, last year about this time I walked up on a mother black bear with two cubs. I was about 75 feet away from her when I spotted them but she charged at me for about 30 feet, turned around and took her cubs. Talk about getting nervous!
They really blend right in with the branches don’t they? We have deer all over our neighborhood. There have been so many houses built in the last few years, they don’t know where to go.
They do blend right in, if I had not heard the leaves rattling I would have missed seeing them!
An interesting observation, in the surrounding woods spring has not yet arrived …

How adorable are they? We get the odd pack.. group? of deer on our street because the neighbor has more of a park for a yard. They come right up to our from step to nibble on anything green that’s edible. I had to click to enlarge your photos to spot the second deer in that first photo!!
Good morning Barbara!! I enjoy seeing the deer but I don’t like it when they eat all my plants.
I can’t think of anything better than being able to walk out your front door and see them.
I agree 🙂
What great photos! So glad they were deer and not bears 🙂 WG
thank you, me to, I did get one good shot of a mother back bear and her cub a few days later 🙂
I’m just amazed by that photo. And SO glad the bear didn’t mind you taking her cub’s portrait! Hope it was a telephoto lens! WG
