I don&#8217;t know what it was but the deer were out big time. I saw scads of them. I am going to spare you photos of all of them but I will show you this guy. He was a little slow on the uptake but once he noticed me he sure gave me the hawkeye.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"_DSC0228\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/43579596341\/in\/dateposted\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm1.staticflickr.com\/845\/43579596341_f5332867eb_z.jpg\" alt=\"_DSC0228\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>And he gave a high pitched snort and took off.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"_DSC0235\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/28381904@N06\/43532627872\/in\/dateposted\/\" data-flickr-embed=\"true\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1810\/43532627872_92447c8dc4_z.jpg\" alt=\"_DSC0235\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><script async src=\"\/\/embedr.flickr.com\/assets\/client-code.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>He might have lost a little face.
