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.
She let me get very close to her. I think the clicking sound of my camera --Nikon D5500 with AF-P Nikkor 70-300mm lens-- intrigued her.
There was a bit of freezing rain and snow that made the world into a so-called winter wonderland here yesterday. I went out for a little stroll in the park and found this whitetail doe with unmelted snow on her back, which means she has a lot better insulation than I do. There was no trouble at all finding a parking space, from which we can conclude that the typical park visitor has a higher IQ than I do.

While on my way to work one morning last month, I came across a doe and her speckled triplets in an ideal spot for photography. Problem? I neither had my camera nor the time to enjoy this deer family until several days later.
Knowing it was a long shot, I returned early in the morning and quietly walked around the area. Nothing. I expanded my search. Nothing. I eventually decided to try and rescue my morning's attempt at spending time in nature, by walking to a tiny nearby park I knew of.
The park was soo silent. I navigated the short meandering trial, pausing frequently, without noting any sound or sight worth investigating with a long lens.
Deciding to call the morning a bust, I was just starting to head back out when I turned my head and looked directly behind me. My jaw practically dropped open, for who was silently watching me all the while, was this beauty.
When I first spotted her, she was rather camouflaged in soft muted light. (I may upload one of the first shot's tomorrow).
She was perched on a snag overhanging a forest enshrouded pond. Once the sun broke through, it was just a matter of shifting to a spot where the tree behind her wasn't overblown in the sudden light, and waiting for her to look into the light.
While quietly spending time with her, I ended up seeing quite a lot of deer. Whoever said deer were silent?! There was a trail only they knew about down a steep embankment which they crashed through to the depression where we were; startling the owl and I each time they came.
First, it was a doe without a fawn, then a couple of does with fawns, and finally, a buck coming into his 3rd season. He silently stared at me for quite awhile from the other side of the pond edge brambles. Then, yes, he did turn and silently disappeared into the thickets behind him.
Of course, now that I was seeing the subject of my choice for the morning, I couldn't get a decent shot due to the poor light and excessive undergrowth, but by now I didn't care. I was in a magic moment, and enjoying it thoroughly...

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....
I spent a few weeks trying to win the trust of this handsome whitetail doe in hopes of getting an acceptable close up!

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

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
Cascade Mountains - Jackson County - Oregon - USA
"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."
