Backyard Deer (again!)

I hope you're not getting tired of seeing pictures of my backyard deer again! Last Monday afternoon (around 5:00), we spotted her bedded down under the white pines in an attempt to take shelter from the pouring rain. There's a nice layer of old white pine needles, so this must have been a pretty comfortable spot for her.

After I stepped outside to take a few pictures, she got annoyed enough to get up from her napping spot and grab a few mouthfuls of corn before heading to a more secluded spot of the backyard.

I had a nice little video of the deer walking right through the backyard to the ground feeder trays. I've been trying for 3 days to download it to this post and Blogger isn't cooperating, so I'm giving up on that.

I'm also happy to report that we've finally seen her fawn. Mr. Johnson was sitting out on the deck on Saturday night when Mrs. Whitetail trotted through the yard with one spotted little fawn following behind her. I wasn't able to get the camera out fast enough to capture any photos, but I did manage to get a glimpse of the little one too.

And finally, I wanted to let you all know that I'll be taking a break from blogging for a while and not sure when I'll be back. Hope everybody has a good summer!
