There is such a wonderful feeling when I see a small glimpse of the wildlife right in my back yard. This handsome young buck was feeding off the frozen apples under the tree. It was a very misty day and they seem to feel protected in that kind of weather and will travel out into the open more. I had to take these through my kitchen window or he would have been spooked. He is a young buck with small antlers, three points, but he was a big-un! He fed for awhile and finally , just before dark set in, wandered back into the bush.
Every time I have seen deer in the back yard it has been a good omen. I wonder what this one will bring?
You need a good omen! Let us know what happens. I love those photos below this post...excellent!
Pretty shots. The buck probably thinks he's well hidden. I hope he brings you good luck.
That's a wonderful sight to see in your yard!
I bet he appreciated the calories in those apples with all the cold and snow.
The ice crystals on your earlier post are lovely.
Thanks Lori! Glad you like the freezing rain photos.
Janie I think he did feel hidden in the mist!
Betty I get to see them every once in a while. It is magical when they appear.
Martha I am hoping he will come back for more!
Isn't that exciting? We are on a peninsula, and don't get deer. Thanks for sharing yours! If you have big bucks you can buy one of those trail cameras!
I love seeing deer nearby too...we had three along the driveway a few nights ago, but they don't usually come too close to the house...maybe I'll try apples!
I never tire of seeing deer. I see many of them on my morning walks. :-)
that is so neat, I rarely see the deer around here, but when I do I love it.

Jenn - I love those cameras but sadly don't get enough deer around for that.
Susan- There you go! Set a few apples out and see if you can entice them!
Karen- Luckily lady! I only see them once in awhile.
Gill- I never tire of it either.
There's just a magical quality to the light and the landscape in these photos. How wonderful that the deer graced it as well! I'm always delighted coming here, too. I'm taking a break from blogging for a while, but will still be following your blog, and will drop by!
Looks as if they were painted. Impressive photography - once again. Please have a nice Thursday.
beautiful sh0ts,thanks for visiting my page
You had a blessed day, for certain, to see the deer! Glad you were able to catch him with a couple of photographs. Hope your tradition with the good omen continues. =)
