Beautiful. We even made eye contact while I was taking her pictures. She didn't seem fazed...I am wondering if she has encountered me out in the yard a few times. After a little while, she did mosey away.
I have mixed feelings about the deer. I am always thrilled to see them...but, as a friend pointed out, because they are overpopulated, they are contributing to the depletion of native plants...and giving invasive species an even more competitive hold. They used to be a rare, thrilling sight...perhaps things would be better if they were more rare.
---as I typed this out on the deck, I noticed my shrub dogwood [silky dogwood (Cornus amomum), I believe] was shaking. Very odd. Too much shaking for it to be just a bird. I got up from the swing, trying to get a better look. At that point, I saw, what looked, by the size, like a fawn running toward the front yard. Too bad, no pictures.--
I do have pictures from the other day though:
