Naughty Deer! Nature Calls!

I've wanted to share with you the wonderful aspects of nature that surround those of us who call the rural areas of this nation our home.

Last evening, I actually had my camera with me when this beauty decided to stroll by.

She even decided to look up at me and pose for a great pic!

She knows she is safe here.

Yep, the deer have made themselves quite comfortable around here...

Maybe a little too comfortable??? :)
