Saturday Snapshot (May 25, 2013) More Wildlife in the Backyard

It was hard to decide which pictures to share this week. There were deer in our own back yard; our fresh vegetables in our pot; a very large black snake and sun-tipped trees. I'll share the critters today and save the others for another day.

I was taking pictures of the garden when I heard crackling in the woods to the right.
I suspected it had to be deer and then saw the white tail swatting flies.
The first picture you cannot see the deer hidden to the left of the big trunk.
I zoomed in and after about three photos she looked straight at me - picture 2. 


There was another to the left of the first and she looked up at me too.
I don't see any horns but the ears are bigger. 
Could be the mother or a young buck maybe.


Tuesday morning my DH was looking out from our bedroom balcony and called to me to get the camera.
Looking down from our balcony there was a visitor between the two tree trunks, just to the right of the tool shed, near the black object on the ground. You would have to pull in this picture to see it. 
Zoomed in you see the black snake - probably a five or six footer.
One reason I am cautious around the wood piles!



Thanks to all who stop by and visit. I love seeing your photos too even if I don't visit till Friday night!

Saturday Snapshot (April 6, 2013) Deer Nature

I missed some wonderful moon shots a week or so ago as I didn't have the camera in my car.
One twilight I caught the moon across through the trees.


A couple of evenings later I stopped to take these pictures of some deer down our street.
We have a mile and a half drive to our house and there is one other house before it dead ends.
We learn to drive slowly as the deer cross the street at different spots and you have to be careful going around the curves in case they are there.

The first shot is from the street - not zoomed.
The next three are as I zoom closer.





Thanks again to all the nice people who have commented on my Saturday pictures. I am so sorry I have not been getting to return the visits until late in the week. :-(
