This buck was looking right at us, but he seemed to think he was hidden. He did have pretty good camouflage in the shade.
The deer trio knew they'd been spotted and they weren't hanging around for photo ops. It's amazing how effortlessly the doe jumped the fence. 
The hiding rule usually is if you can see them, they can usually see you, especially out in the open. (Didn't that buck read the manual!)
ReplyDeleteYou got a great picture of the buck, Janie... I saw one (not as big as yours) in the back of our house last week a couple of times ---but didn't have my camera handy either time... Darn!!!!!
ReplyDeleteDeer really can run --when they have to, can't they????
Hugs,

Haha, you can't see me! That was cute. I am always amazed when deer jump the fence the way they do. I wish I could do that.
ReplyDeleteStags definitely look better in the wild. As a child I was always horrified and slightly disturbed by the mounted stag skull, complete with fake horns, that accessorized our hallway.
ReplyDeleteAwww, I love that first shot - That big thing thinking he's hiding, very cute! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures. I've seen it a thousand times but it amazes me how effortlessly deer can jump a fence.
ReplyDeleteloving the action shot
ReplyDeleteNot a lot of deer in my 'hood :)
ReplyDeleteI played too :)
It's really surprising to me to see how well deer can jump! I've never seen it before! Great pictures, Janie!
ReplyDeleteHide and seek is always fun and you caught them in the act of trying to get away. Great shots, Janie.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos, Janie. The does look as if they are flying through the air. Loved the Hide and Seek title!
ReplyDeleteWhat a handsome buck! Maybe his idea of hiding and ours are different. And the doe jumps with such grace. The human made obstacles are probably their biggest challenge.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo captures Janie!!!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing deer in the wild...it is so uncommon for me.
I love to see deer in the wild...soo pretty. I would not be good to take on a hunting trip... "RUN BAMBI RUN" lol
ReplyDeleteHave a GREAT DAY!
Did the two young deer manage to clear the fence? It looks as if it would be quite a leap for them. You got a great picture of the buck. I'm glad he thought he was hidden.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful buck. That is a great picture of the doe jumping the fence!!

ReplyDeleteNow that's the kind of "buck shot" I like to see!
ReplyDeleteThese are great photos by all means Janie. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteJanie: Those are some great shots of the mule deer.
ReplyDeleteIt's really so easy for them!
ReplyDeleteGarden Lizard
that sounds like my schnauzer Jake...he thinks he's hiding behind something and you can't see him even though he's hanging out on both sides...great photos..deer are so graceful...
