What is this car doing here by me. |

Hi there...... |
Larry recently got some great pics of the local deer. They are not like the vehicle savvy Whitetail deer you see down in America. These deer just stand and look at people or cars. When they do run, it is a hilarious kangaroo- like bouncing gait.
Another curious behavior they exhibit is this hiding pose the fawn here is modelling. When danger is near the baby will drop down and freeze while Mama lures the threat away after her. What this fawn failed to grasp was to drop and hide in the tall grass, not in the middle of the road! We pulled right up beside it. Larry opened his car door to take these pictures. The baby looked up at him but still didn't run off. We sure hope it got out of the road after we left. There might be another car by some time today!
