After a short two to three week reprieve, we are again being visited by deer at least once daily. I caught some pictures on August 28th, but have since stopped running to grab my camera when I spot them in the yard. There are too many to keep up. I didn't know whether to label this post with the tag 'wildlife' or 'pest'! (Joking...)
There have been the usual adult deer, but in the last few days, there has also been a mama deer visiting with her 2 little fawns (they still have their white spots). While washing the dishes in the kitchen, I looked up and was startled to see a fawn, right there, looking back at me through the window! What a sweet little soul.
They are so beautiful and gentle. Increasingly unfazed by people and vehicles, unfortunately. They often stop and listen while I explain that, while I treasure their visits, the tomatoes, cabbage, and bean are off limits for eating. Once I finish speaking, they smoothly and unironically resume their lunch. At that point, I start slowly walking towards them, 'shooing' or clapping behind them as they reluctantly head back to the street. Thankfully, for my sake and theirs, this is a quiet street with little traffic.

Yep, deer were here...
