Saturday Critters ~ 336 ~

During Thursdays bike ride, I spotted this deer in the woods, just inside the trail,
we stopped so I could take pictures.
It appeared to be alone, 
staring straight at me, it walked directly toward the path and fairly close to me.
I am always surprised at how tame some of them are.






On the way home, we stopped to see and photograph the horses.


This horse was missing one eye, poor baby...

it almost seemed like he was showing me.



He had a beautiful, black/brown shiny coat - he was friendly and very well cared for.

We came home and put a steak on the grill to share.
It was so delicious...I think today was perfect!

You got some great shots of the deer, in the first one he seemed to wonder what you were:)

Isn't it just something how some deer are so tame and others not so much, probably how they have interacted with others. such great close up pics you were able to get, love them!! That poor horse with one eye missing, he looks pretty though, looks like you had some beautiful weather that day! And to top it all off with a grilled steak, is perfection!!

I'm always so thrilled to see a deer and have it stop long enough to get a pic. And I love horses and may drive around this weekend to get some photos. Your dinner looks good too! What a good day you had! Happy weekend!

Deers are such beautiful animals. The steak looks yummy!

A perfect day, indeed...

Your deer shots are amazing! That's a mama--you can see her swollen udder. The one-eyed horse-- I wonder what happened. I feel bad for its lack of depth perception. It is a blessing for animals that they appear to have no self-pity. Thanks for sharing!
