Deer

When I approached, a pack of deer was feeding by the road. They began to run, trying to get away, but they ran closer to the road, before they turned and went into the safety of the woods and the adjacent golf coourse.

Bambi Stress Test

Just clipping along the trail and I heard something and then this nice deer just exploded about the brush in front of me. I’m not sure who was more startled by the encounter. Definitely better than the bat that hit me in the fact last year.

Close one with a deer.

The Buck Stops Here… right on the bike path

Young Buck, but still a big one, standing right beside the bike path. Saw him with plenty of time so I could slow down and approach cautiously. Was actually about to come to a full stop because I didn’t want to get any closer when he took off into the brush along the trail Beautiful animal and hope it is okay in our suburban environment.
