After church yesterday, I stopped by the local 12th generation Melick's Farm for some Jersey Fresh corn. About noon, I went out to shuck the corn by my compost bin, only to encounter this cute couple resting in the shade between my driveway and the neighbors' garden. I ran back for my camera, trying to disturb them as little as possible. Nearby was a young buck, with small buds, but he was very skittish and I didn't get a decent shot of him. We have a group of three fawns in the neighborhood, but I only see them while walking the dog and equipped only with my iPhone. There seem to be fewer fawns this season, but they are growing fast. http://dan-matyola.squarespace.com/danmatyolas-pesos/2022/7/11/2022-deer K-5 IIs, smc DA 18-135hour mm F 3.5-5.6 ED AL [IF] DC WR Comments, criticisms, questions, and suggestions are invited and appreciated.

You mean these are real wild animals? Amazing. Thanks for sharing. Ralf -- Ralf R.

They are indeed wild. Our neighborhood is overrun with Virginia Whitetail deer; some call them long-legged rats, but they are cute. To reduce overpopulation, our municipality hires a hunting club to thin out the herd each fall, using only bows and arrows. Over the last several years, two bucks came into my yard to die after being hit with an arrow. In each case, the hunter was trailing them, and arrived about 10 or 15 minutes after the wounded buck. The club sent me a couple of bottles of wine on each occasion for the "inconvenience." I don't mind, but it grosses my wife out, and gets my Alaskan Malamute all excited. He has learned not to chase the deer into the woods, but he will make sure they leave "his" yard when he encounters them.

Well, maybe not quite as extraordinary. Some of the places in Liège, Belgium, where most of my industrial shots are from, have a serious problem with wild boar and they won't run away from you. Much the opposite. Be glad it's just deer in your garden. I've seen a few gardens which had been visited by those beasts and they looked as if someone had been having their driving lesson in a tank.
