Where the Deer and the Antelope…

Well OK, so no antelope, but we do have deer! These two were visiting early in the morning and on this day they stopped by for an afternoon snack. They tolerated me standing outside by the house long enough to get a couple of pictures.

We also spotted turkeys later, but they declined to get their pictures taken. Oh well, perhaps another day.
