Not the rapper Young Buck, this young fella in my backyard was the real thing.

My new lawn mower
We had several fawns hang out in our backyard last year, but this is the first one I have seen in 2012.
Let the reindeer games begin…
Time to saddle up the sleigh. If Santa is missing any deer to guide his sleigh tomorrow night, he can find this one in my backyard all ready and rested to go.
New deer in town
When I returned from Copenhagen a month ago there was a couple of baby deer frequently hanging out in my backyard (as there are every year). But they were several weeks old at least.
The one pictured above I caught sight of a few weeks later and it looked much younger, maybe born within the prior few days. You can’t really tell how small it was without some comparison so here is another picture of the fawn with its not-very-large mother for perspective.
Outdoor lawn deer ornament
Some people purchase fake deer decorations to put in their yard for Christmas. In Ashland, you don’t have to pay for such decorations, and the deer are real.
Digging the detail
I’m really enjoying the level of detail my new camera is capturing. If you have a large screen, click on the image for a better view. Even the dew on the grass looks good. This deer was in my backyard when I went out to test a few different camera settings the other morning.
Back Home
We were planning on arriving home, after nine days in Utah, last night. Snow had other plans for us. We hit a storm just past Susanville, California and ended up getting a room in Mt. Shasta instead.
This morning we headed out of Mt. Shasta on I-5 going north. We were delayed about an hour by chain requirements at the Siskyou Summit on the California/Oregon border.
When we finally arrived back in Ashland, more than 12 hours later than planned, we found our property hadn’t been deserted after all. A family of deer had taken up residence on our back lawn and have not budged even though several hours have passed.
