It was suggested that I change the name of my blog to Jacob Springs instead of Hidden Springs, so, I did!
We've had lots of does coming down to give birth. I went out Saturday evening after seeing 4 does up the draw. I snuck around past the barn, tip-toeing, being ever so quiet and stood near our back property line trying to get a picture (with my new camera!).
I stood and took several and noticed the does were all moving my way. As I stood there they all walked with about 30 feet of me, not a care in the world. I talked softly to them, telling them out pretty they were and they moved up the hill and over. How lucky for me!
The picture below show this does big belly.
I stepped out on the front porch last night as dusk and watched a doe eating in the front pasture about 50 feet from the front porch. I sat in the chair and watched until it got too dark to see her. Oh how I love (my new camera!) and Jacob Springs...
GREAT pictures Jod! You are so very lucky to live in such a magical place.
ReplyDeleteYou'd think after growing up in Garden Valley that I wouldn't be all that impressed with deer, but I just love them. They're so peaceful, curious, and fun to watch.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures, and sooo nice that you get to see them and they are curious about you. They ARE peaceful animals----calming to watch.
