Slideshow (below) has the whole sequence. Lasted about 3.5-minutes. Then a car, in the distance, disturbed it
(even though the car slowed down & stopped).
This was the 2nd of three deer I saw at this very spot this morning. It could have been the same one. I would not know.
This was ‘Prospect Mountain Road‘ — the dirt road that serves as our main thoroughfare hereabouts, with our road branching off it.
I saw the first deer when I was at least 1/4-mile away. It bounded across the road (at this very spot). There is a blueberry farm on the left & an abandoned shack, on quite a lot of acreage on the right hand side.
Saw this one (a Bambi) as I got close. It was young. Very delicate. It was curious rather than afraid. Rowen (our 8-month old Newfoundland puppy) either didn’t see it/smell it or chose to ignore it. Did not make a sound or make any attempt to go close to it. Bambi just stood there looking at us. Studying us. It was cute.
Then on the way back we saw another deer cross the road, from the opposite direction, at the same spot. Might have been the same deer. This time given the motion Rowen did spot it.
P.S., No animals were hurt in the making of this post.
