Oh, Deer!

A familiar deer visited oft her own little forest amid the S family's yard. Living on a large lot in Utah created a comfortable environment for this doe. For just one deer. Until one day, then there were three. Out from behind the landscaping and pine tree peeped 2 pairs of baby deer eyes. The mother deer had given birth right there in a humans backyard. Odd as it seems, the mother deer must have felt the safety and security of the yard was a good place to raise her little family. It was on Father's Day then, Now its July and the two baby deer still live amongst the humans. Meaning the little rascals we call kids. After all a backyard is a place for us parents to rid ourselves of their soundtrack. But Why, I ask, would a mother deer find this to be the best for her youngens? Who knows, but for now we'll enjoy the little family's presence. Here he is playing with the neighbor's chicken He came to investigate me...I am happy to say I sought the deer and was able to get the closest w/o startling! Ain't he so sweet?! can you believe it, look how close he is to me! Who can say they've been THIS close to a wild baby deer?! who lived to tell the tale! The boy deer was more adventurous and daring...his little sister, not so much. It was a pleasant treat for me in Utah.
