Oh deer

I often walk around the barn property. There are snakes and rabbits *everywhere*. Which I'd guess is why it's such a favorite with coyotes. We hear them more than we see them and there are always tracks around.

Coyote track. We have some pretty big coyotes.
We see the occasional fox and of course the property is a birder's paradise.

And then every once in a long while we get a treat like this.

I'm not sure she's in the best of health. She's looking a little "ribby" for such an abundant season.

Sometimes when you're on a horse you can practically reach out and touch the deer before they run. I love this stuff.

Because this is really hard to explain
