The Daily Deer

So I went out back today to get a shot of the deer. I waded all through the choke cherries and could see where they've been laying up, but no deer.

Here's a shot of a grosbeak on one of the feeders.

I shot a photo of a dragonfly.

..and a European honey bee on a Russian Thistle.

Then, as I was walking back up to my barn, this beast jumped up and nearly trampled me. I guess it's the same one I saw yesterday. I'm not sure how big he is, but they seem much larger when they're bouncing downhill toward you on all fours, in that odd manner that mule deer run, if you can call it running. They actually bounce on all fours like the cartoon skunk 'Pepe Le Pew'. But he's out there in any event. I did verify that much.

Update: I've decided that this is the same deer I saw down there yesterday, as he has a small notch in his right ear.
