Velvet Buck

I only get to see this boy on the weekends. He usually stops by around mid-morning for a drink and to graze whatever food the does and fawns have left behind. Always cautious. Always alert. He has, however, allowed our presence at the window or on the back deck - with some limits. I am grateful that he allows us this observation time.

Awww what a beauty. How lucky you are to have such fine visitors... and great camera skills. :)
Aren't they wonderful? I posted with pictures about my visitors, too.http://noendingjourney.blogspot.com/2009/08/stag-party-at-lynilus-tonight.html#comments
He's gorgeous.
And your reverence for all things living? Yeah. That's pretty fantastic too.
Awesome.. I love these guys :)
We have a lot of deer here. There was a family of three grazing in my neighbors front yard the other morning. Wish I'd had my camera. They've been doing construction and it's driven them out into the neighborhoods.
He's pretty! Wonder what he does the rest of the week?
Well, they tend to be very shy so that's normal I would say. I'm surprised that you get him that close at all.
He's very beautiful :))
He is gorgeous and you capture that beauty is just the right way.
He's handsome! My does would love him. My buck does not have such nice antlers.
Beautiful buck, Seamus! Would love to see him in motion, deers are such graceful creatures. Saw one leap a 5 ft tall hurricane fence on the run once. Amazing!
Cheers!

He's a beauty! Bucks do tend to be more wary than does do. You're lucky he's one of your regulars.
Ohh, he's totally watching you take that picture, isn't he? Very alert, indeed.
Love the dappled lighting and how that plays on his beautiful antlers. That velvet looks like brown moss and so very soft. Wonder if he lets the ladies stroke that? :P
What a beautiful picture!! You really are so very lucky :)
oh he is magnificent. thank yo ufor sharing your own fleeting glimpses.
Your photos are fabulous! It must be nice to have such critters so close! Thanks so much for sharing them with us!
He is a gift, my friend and so are you for Commenting on little Trevor on my site! Thank You So Much!!!
Beautiful. I love the way his eyes are ever so cautious. His antlers looks so soft and inviting to touch...
Oh, WOW! He is beautiful!
I was over at Sequim, at the game park there and got to feel some antlers in velvet as we gave the little bucks some nibbles of food.
They felt so amazing.
Your visiting buck is gorgeous.
What a wonderful visitor and what an impressive image you captured of him!
That's a magnificent shot!
