I have been noticing the lack of deer. I have only seen this doe as she wanders near the house and I can sneak a peak through a window. I feared the worst case that the winter herd of four had died off down to just this one.

He/she was a bit tentative.

I tried to minimize my movement inside the house so I wouldn't startle them.

These images were captured through dirty double-paned glass with a Sony point and shoot model DSC WX-500. It's got a sensor about the size of my pinkie nail (1/2.3) but it has an equivalent reach of more than 700mm and is adequate for blogging purposes.
