Doe

When we walked out the door on Sunday that beautiful doe was standing very close to the house. We stood quietly while my son went back for his camera. After getting two pictures of her eating grass, I stepped backwards onto some leaves that crackled, which startled her and off she went.

The same doe came up behind my father down by the pond and stood looking at him and grazing for about half an hour. He finally came in and she remained standing there. Those moments are pure magic. and it’s even gotten to Joe, who has a hunters mindset. My father said she is so friendly, she almost acts like a pet. I know she is wild and needs to remain wild and we don’t try to touch her or be too friendly and the thought of the hunters in the fall getting anywhere near her...In the hunting season you can hear the shots reverberating throughout the days.
