It doesn't look that big in the photo...but, man...that head was huge when I was standing closer... the ears alone had to be about 9 inches tall ... no lie!
Finally, I decided she didn't seem to be too bothered by me... and I also noticed there was another one on the neighbour's lawn....and .. . a third, much smaller, one on the lawn across the street....what the? ...?? The place was positively littered with deer! What's going on here?
I was even a bit more concerned now... what if they were guarding the smaller one? ..or worse yet... the little one was wounded or something... I sure didn't want to scare them up and cause more damage if they felt they had to move in a hurry...
Still I sat there and waited ... then, decided I would get out quietly, walk up the lawn about 20 feet over to the left of her and just talk softly, to nobody in particular, while doing it. I had to go behind a big shrub too...so I quietly warned her I was about to saunter out from behind it as I was doing it... managed to sidle along the lower part of the porch and got to the steps that way...whew...she didn't even budge... and I found out they had all been there for some time already.
I was there for several minutes.... quietly went back the way I came; got in the car and drove away. Then, thought...darn it, I wish I had my camera. Went to the bank to do some business... drove home, got my camera and immediately drove back. They were still here. I got a shot of each through the window so I didn't scare them off and drove away. It made my day.
They may still be there .....
