This morning, somewhere around here - @Spung-Man country! :)

There was a car stopped in front of me and the deer was standing right next to it, so maybe it's tame and people have been feeding it? Or maybe just sick and disoriented? It headed off into the woods when I approached, just a bad phone picture through the window. But it shows how perfectly camoflaged this guy is in the winter!

Yep, that is Abby, Abby-Normal. You missed her fawn. What she wouldn't do for a couple of bucks...
Here she is ravishing radishes outside the garden; wild but not particularly afraid of people. This neck of the woods is a good place to escape from the coyotes.

Around Christmas her nose lights up.

Thanks - I had a feeling you would know all about her! I was just hoping it wasn't something like... "that's the legendary Richland White Deer that appears to travellers just before they meet their doom!" :eek:
