This magnificent fellow was watching me have coffee while I watched him watch me… Ha! There are a few of these big guys that hang around our woods every fall.

Some people are fortunate to have these beautiful creatures join them for coffee in the fall. This is a magnificent capture, Joe. They sure look regal with their antler crowns. I see a watering can and plants growing in your garden, yet you don't seem to mind them entering your yard.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Joe to my faves this gorgeous buck goes! He is so handsome and you have caught his look perfectly. How lucky for you he joined you for coffee. May I ask what kind of deer he is - Mule deer or Black Tail? ♥:)sandi♥
This is fantastic! How lucky to share this precious moment. This makes me want to hold my breath so I dont scare him away. I hope that I get this in the vb, but in the meantime he is going right into my faves. Wonderful!
How fantastic for this animal to be so close and so calm. I expect he was waiting to be fed and hoping you had a morsal for him! He looks completely at ease! lovely shot of this beautiful creature!

Nice 10 pointer. I didn't see anything near this nice during the hunting season this year. I know I shouldn't shoot them, but I love venison and it's good for the heart. Sorry.
