At the north end of our compound is the orchard. The herd use this as their path through and to green pastures. During fruit season they linger longer.
Hubby came to get me with my camera to witness the herd. There were a dozen. They were very alert and had been frolicking before I arrived. I first shot through the screen, then through the window glass, then I slowly sneaked outside to get a clear view through a big lens (don't ask me what lens, I'm still learning).
They are moving toward our private road.
A few wandered over the cattle guard.
This one saw me and was sore afraid.
For those not familiar with this type of deer
the white tail "flag" is a warning for the herd.
Easy to see and tells them all DANGER.
If you're wondering what this has to do with fences
at The Run*A*Round Ranch's Good Fences
just take my word for it...
behind all that brush is a fence.

Gail,
Great pictures of the herd. I could stay out there and watch deer forever. They're so beautiful.
Cool you saw so many deer.
Such lovely creatures.
Typical farm fence. No wonder you eat so well. :-)
Great photo you have lots of blooms for them to eat! I think your Daffodills are safe they usually don't like them:)
Cute shots of the deer, they are so cute! I love the flowers and fence, great shots. Happy Easter!
Fine pictures of all the deer and flowers :) And I found the fence ;)
Happy Easter to you!

I believe you . . . fun to see "a herd" of deer . . .
We saw twenty plus cross a road when we were in Iowa in a fairly residential area. Stopped traffic as they "flew" by. Hubs corrected me when I said, "look at that fleet of deer!"
(Seemed like a "fleet" to me.)
Many White Tail around here in Michigan . . .
This is a beautiful post..because it has critters! I would love to wander there.
Wonderful photos ! Our white tails are soo skittish I never get to get decent photos of them ! Thanks for sharing , Have a good and Happy Easter weekend !
this is so exciting. i have never seen a deer in the wild and this is a whole gang in your own yard.. wow...
Love the deer, and seeing them in the wild is awesome. Have a blessed weekend.

Oh those deer. I wish the buck that visits in the fall would leave off beating up on one particular apple tree at my house, LOL.
I stumbled on to your blog from Alex's blog. So glad I did.

How neat to see that many deer at one time. I love watching them.
Just became a follower of your blog. Happy Easter.
'Guess your scary like that, huh? Heeehehehe!!!!
Your a treasure behind that camera girlfriend. What a wonderful capture.
You survive those wicked storms last night. I have to admit...I was sore afraid too. It was bad...X3.
You have a gloriously blessed Easter weekend beautiful Gail. :o)
They are such beautiful, gentle creatures. They need their wits about them every minute though.
