I constantly battle the deer in my garden, so this is not exactly a loving portrait. I believe this doe is one of a pair of twins that I found curled up under my office window one morning a few years ago. They were so young that they still had their spots. I am afraid that next year her twins will be found some where in my garden and even more budding flowers will have lost their heads.

Nice shot. I feel the same way. I always shoo them away, then think to myself “gee, I should have taken a picture”.
The interesting story behind this shot is that this doe gave birth to one baby somewhere around the pond in our back yard. She must have lost track of the baby very early because it was seen on our neighbors patio barely able to stand. She kept coming through our yard and seemed to be looking for it. They may not have connected because he is seen alone in areas like under our tree. I took this photo one morning when she appeared to be looking for the baby.
