Pretty Young Doe

The deer on the trails at Troy Nature Center are innocently tame. This yearling doe casually approached in my direction, to a still-green field of high grass at the edge of the maple forest. She came to within 35 feet from me; 20 feet, 15, 10 feet. She stopped to nibble at the grass and leafy plants, looking up at me occasionally, posing for a picture.

 

Earlier a young buck walked to within 20 feet of us, stopped to study us, then ambled off into the woods.
