My Sunday Photo was taken one day last week...a very wet day.
We have the ruins of an old barn just on our boundary and the local deer seem to be quite taken with stopping off for a snack.
I think this particular young buck is partial to bramble bushes.
I think this particular young buck is partial to bramble bushes.
As you can see...he certainly knew I was watching him, but he seemed not to mind.
I'm not sure if you can see from this photo below the leaf hanging out of his mouth.
Here's a better look at him...as he carried on wandering.
It was a very wet evening and he looks a little more bedraggled than normal...but then who doesn't when they're caught in a downpour.
Here's a few more photo's.
...and finally an unedited photo of last nights amazing sunset.

Thanks for visiting my place.
I know I've not been able to visit many of my fellow bloggers, but I hope to soon.
Have a great Sunday everyone.
What gorgeous captures - he is beautiful x
ReplyDeleteI was thrilled that I was able to get some really close up shots Victoria. He wasn't in the least bit bothered about me or my camera clicking away!
DeleteWhat stunning photos, he is watching you carefully. Is he a Roe deer?
ReplyDeleteHe is a young Roe deer and I think that's why he wasn't particularly bothered by me although he did keep a close eye on me. I just hope he doesn't jump the fence and raid our new veggie plot. Hubby would not be pleased!
DeleteYou seem to get such stunning wildlife near you. How wonderful you get deer and you've captured them really well!!
ReplyDeleteWe are really lucky Tas, I think it's because we are surrounded by farm and woodland. I was thrilled that this young buck and his pal came so near and wasn't bothered by me at all. I managed to get quite a few photos before they wandered off, thankfully away from our veggie plot!
DeleteHow beautiful - amzing creature and so close.
ReplyDeleteI was rather surprised he was so relaxed Sarah. I was thrilled he and his friend hung around for quite some time...thankfully not eyeing up our vegetables and flowers.
DeleteWhat beautiful photos you've managed to capture and so clear was well.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it wasn't a particularly good day for taking photo's as the rain clouds made it rather dull, so I'm very happy with the results.
DeleteDeer are so beautiful. We have some that roam local but they are so timid you cannot get near to them to photograph. Have a lovely weekend Neesie x
ReplyDeleteI'm happy to share these Cathy because usually when they come to call they're on their guard but these two young bucks were only interesting in eating...a little like my young buck here (my son).
DeleteWhat beautiful photos, they are such graceful animals
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up
Thanks Darren. We are very lucky to have such amazing neighbours.
DeleteThanks for hosting once again.
He is such a sight! So cute! And what a lovely sunset to finish a wet day! #mysundayphoto
ReplyDeleteI have to confess the sunset came the next day and not on that particular rainy day. He is a magnificent neighbour isn't he?
DeleteHow fabulous that he stayed long enough for you to take photos. Obviously saw you as a low risk. We get deer in the garden if we're not careful. They like my kitchen garden. I'm too busy chasing them out to take photos! #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteI was thrilled to see them and particularly as they didn't seem to be in a hurry to leave. I think I must have captured 50+ photo's. He was watching us watching them...very funny, whilst he munched away.
DeleteI'm thankful that they haven't found our new veggie plot yet, because my hubby would be chasing them away too. There's been too much hard work gone into the plot to have them come in and nibble through everything.
Hi Neesie, how lovely! He looks as intrigued by you as you are with him!

It was a very special moment Debbie. I was thrilled that he trusted me enough and waited until I'd taken about 50 photo's of him!
DeleteHow wonderful to have deer on your grounds. Love the shy look thru the brambles.
ReplyDeleteI'm just hoping he doesn't overstep the mark and come into my borders or our veg plot. There's certainly enough of other things out there, so hopefully he'll be content with that.
DeleteAmazing pics, Denise! Yes, I saw the leaf dangling from his mouth in the first pic. :) Like he was in mid chew when he saw you! Stunning sunset pic. Sending hot hugs (our summer temps have returned) :))
ReplyDeleteWow amazing pictures, it must have been great being so close to him #MySundayPhoto
ReplyDeleteThanks, I did have my zoom lens on my camera, but I was quite close and as you can see he certainly knew I was there.
DeleteLovely photos Neesie!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine...have a great week :D
DeleteQuite a handsome young fellow. Beautiful sunset. I don't know how to alter pictures so all mine are as is--LOL! Have a peaceful, healing week. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Rita,
DeleteYou should have a little play in https://www.picmonkey.com/
It's really user friendly and there are lots of ways to change your photo's if you wanted. Frames, writing on them, making a college and lots more editing options. Have fun if you do have a play :D
very nice shots of the buck :) we are starting to see them around here, in the fields and trying to cross the road that separates 2 small forests
ReplyDeleteThanks Jennifer,
DeleteMy heart stops when they cross the lanes here. They have high banks and it's quite a drop onto the tarmac before a huge jump up over the other side.
Hey Sugar - your young buck is beautiful and it looks as if he could one day have a pretty big wrack.
ReplyDeleteI know you must feel as if you still have an open wound in your heart. I know I do.
Sandy xx
Thanks Sandy...it isn't easy I have to admit but I'm trying.
DeleteThere were actually two young bucks and they've been hanging around for a few weeks now. It's fantastic seeing them just outside our window...although hubby gets a little techy thinking that they might take a liking to the new veggie plot!
What a wonderful sight! Just lovely :)
ReplyDeleteI was thrilled to have them visit Lisa, in fact they've been hanging around for a few weeks now. So privileged to have them as my neighbour.
DeleteLovely to see your selection of photographs.
ReplyDeleteThat sky looks amazing.
All the best Jan
We are lucky to have lots of amazing sunrises and sunsets here Jan.
DeleteI never get tired of seeing and photographing them.
All the best to you too :D
Oh wow. Such a beautiful animal. Great photos
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing you this week #mysundayphoto
Thanks Martyn,
DeleteI'm so late replying to your comment...but it's been that kind of week. The two young bucks have continued to hang around here for a few weeks now. So privileged to have them as my neighbour.
How incredible to see such a wonderful sight as the deer... and so close! Your photos are truly delightful :D)
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue, we actually have two young bucks nearby and they seem quite content to stay around here. I've been clicking the camera at them and they don't seem to mind. Such a treat!
