Doe Castle sits deep in Sheephaven Bay, in a spectacular location on the shore near Creeslough village. It was a stronghold of the MacSweeney Clan who came to Donegal from Scotland as Gallowglasses (professional fighters).
The central keep dates probably from the middle of the 15th century and was later enclosed by a bawn wall with flanker and gun loops. Surrounded by water on three sides, a deep fosse was carved out of rock to protect its landward side. It is said that survivors from the Spanish Armada were sheltered here by the MacSweeneys and it was here that the young Red Hugh O’Donnell was fostered.
The castle saw many changes in its fortunes in the turbulent 17th century surviving siege and canon fire. It was finally restored and extended by General George Vaughan Hart who transformed the castle into a country manor in the early 19th century complete with crenelated battlements. His initials can be seen above the doorway on the east side of the keep.
In 1934 it came under the protection of the Office of Public Works. They carried out extensive restoration work in the late 1990s. The grounds are open each day from dawn to dusk and guided tours of the castle are available daily in July and August.

Sorry, but I kept thinking of the Boston tune .... "Doe look back, a new day is breakin, it's been too long since I felt this way"
LOL ....... stuck in the "70s I guess,
Once again I had a lucky day at Lynde Shores. With the -20 weather and terrible road conditions, very few photographers were out and about. This graceful Doe was one of quite a large family of deer that were wondering around. I also came across several species of birds including a stunning barred owl.
This little furry doe was trying to find something to eat. With frost covering everything....even her, I bet it was a bit of a challenge.
Who remembers Do-Re-Mi Lyrics from Sound of Music?
Do- A deer, a female deer
Re- A drop of golden sun
Mi- A name I call myself
Fa- A long, long way to run
So- A needle pulling thread
La- A note to follow so
Te- A drink with jam and bread
doe and her spring fawn...during rut they will have been separated for a short time due to breeding activity but when that's over doe's usually group back up with their female offspring until spring when they separate to begin that cycle of life....I can't say I've really noticed them grouping back up with their male offspring....
An early morning White-tailed Doe watches cautiously from the distance while standing in tall dew covered marsh grass, mosquitos all around her.
Thank you for viewing
Doe, a deer, a female deer
Ray, a drop of golden sun
Me, a name I call myself
Far, a long, long way to run
Sew, a needle pulling thread
La, a note to follow Sew
Tea, a drink with jam and bread
That will bring us back to Do
(oh-oh-oh)
Whitetail Deer, Brown County, Wisconsin USA.
I thought this image from late August of this year paired well with my recent post titled "Buck Snort". This doe was with her fawns and snorted at me a couple of times - if you click to zoom in, you will clearly see the spray of what Doc Fauci would call "droplet". This time period was also at the peak of the terrible run of mosquitos in my locale.
This Whitetail Doe had twins but the other one got in the brush before I could get this shot. I love seeing these young ones while they still have their spots.
Have a wonderful Sunday

Black-tailed Deer (Odocoileus hemionus columbianus) Doe
"The black-tailed deer is one of nine subspecies of the mule deer. It was first recorded by the Lewis and Clark Expedition of 1804-06.
Black-tailed deer live in the temperate coniferous forests along the Pacific coast. These forests are characterized by cool temperatures and lots of rain, but an overall mild climate. Black-tailed deer do not therefore migrate in response to seasonal changes, unlike some of the other mule deer subspecies. Instead, black-tailed deer often spend their entire life in the same general area.
Black-tailed deer can be distinguished from mule deer by their larger tail, the back of which is completely covered with black or dark brown hairs. Mule deer have smaller tails in which only the tip is covered with black hairs. Black-tailed deer are generally smaller than mule deer."
