Does to Fawns: Look Both Ways Before Crossing the Road


We have a herd of eight white-tailed deer who we frequently spot on our land.  One morning they were in our meadow which is our front yard and when they got to road, they stopped and patiently waited for a car to pass by before crossing.

This is a great shot Kathy i guess that they are smart enough to wait for the traffic to pass.

I like smart deer. When I'm home visiting my family, I try to avoid the night driving. Love deer...just not their kamikaze approach to crossing the highways:)

Look at all the things you get to see in Texas that you couldn't see in Phoenix.

I would put more photos of Sadie on my blog, but she doesn't like the camera much. And her eyes glow. :-)

Oh my someone got right up, close and personal with this fawn. I just love deer - so delicate.

To answer your question on the soup, there is a link to the recipe! Click Epicurious for it!

Oh, how beautiful they are. It is so sad that they have to accept human's rules but apparently they managed to integrate.
Lovely picture Kathy!

Amazing. I guess they have witnessed enough accidents!
