Deer on our lawn.
Her attention was on something in the ditch on the left side of the road as our car topped the rise. Sylvia was driving and we were going to Good Friday services. Sylvia immediately moved her foot from the accelerator to the brake pedal and the car slowed to a walk. She heard the crunch of gravel beneath tires and lifted her head.
Curiosity got the better of her and she moved toward us, crossing the road as she neared the now barely moving vehicle. Her head was up and all of her senses were at full alert. She continued to approach.
Then, for no apparent reason, she whirled and starting trotting down the right side of the road away from us. Suddenly, she took a hard right. With two bounds and a graceful leap the young doe cleared the old woven-wire fence where it was broken down a bit. Quickly she disappeared into the brush.
We continued on our way as we thought about the brief encounter on the road.
She’s so beautiful. I still yell out DEER! every time I see one on the side of the road. It always puts a smile on my face.

Well, she was one of the lucky ones. I thought the story was going to end differently. Hubby has hit several this year. They are beautiful, but just too many
I love to see the deer, too. They are so beautiful. Good picture! I never have my camera when I see one!
Hey, Congrats on the Big win over at Joe’s blog!! Great caption!! I always say you have a wicked sense of humor!!!! 🙂
I get excited every single time I see deer–they are so lovely. I just never grow tired of their beauty and gracefulness. Nice story and cool encounter!
How nice – I enjoy seeing deer. I have a few along with some wild turkeys.
