Even on a short walk, I carry my camera. You never know what you might see...
This morning I walked to the market with my wife and on the way home we came face to face with a female deer...
These are not great photos, just some straight-out-of-camera snapshots.
When the deer saw us, she changed direction and began to cross the street to avoid us.
She is still quite calm and unconcerned. There are very few threats to these deer in the city. They basically have no natural predators except for cars and possibly dogs...
Suddenly, the deer changes direction again. She has spotted something that worries her.
The deer starts to run. Notice the woman in the background who is pulling on a lease to restrain her dog.
So here you see the deer running... still not in panic mode but trotting away from the dog. She has three feet off the ground here.
Now having put just a few yards between herself and the dog, the deer slows down.
...and finally walks away again, looking for some flowers to eat. I hope you enjoyed these photos, thanks for looking!
