I love that we live in the country and and that our home is surrounded by trees. The deer seem to love it too and are daily visitors. Yesterday I spied two of them munching their way around our yard so I snuck outside with my camera. I obviously need to work on my 'stealth mode' because this one spied me right away.
They have a really good sense of smell and I think the wind was blowing my scent in their direction.
I must have smelt good because the sniffing was soon followed by a lot of lip licking (try saying that several times fast)!
They also have great hearing. With ears like that it's no wonder.
Eventually its sibling came into view and after some additional grass munching . . . . .
. . . . . they took off into the neighbors yard.
