Awfully far from home, ain't ya, Bambi?

Imagine my surprise when I looked out our back window
and found THIS face staring back at me!
.
.
Silly, I KNOW, but I grabbed for my camera and yelled for the boys to come see... Quick!

.
It's not evra dayee that us city kidz see wahld critterz a-wanderin' though our yard
a-munchin' on our them-thar bushes-a-owrz!
.
.
We live a good several miles from the eastside foothills where they usually frequent, after all.
.
.
So we had a few magical minutes watching them, watching us!
.
.
And pardon my non-deer-saavy- lingo, but there were 2 young bucks
hanging out up on our back rock-wall... (Look close!)
.
.
Note the big 5-pointed horns/antlers on the far right, in the shade... he was the "look-out", I think.
.
.
I jokingly told Kaden to go get his new cross-bow and we'd eat this guy for dinner...
..
You should have seen his face... I thought he was going to cry!
.
.
(Yeah... we're a bunch of softies... NOT a drop of Hunter-blood amongst us!)
.
This little fawn wandered and galloped all over the place! Soooo cute!
.
.
Trevan wanted to go out and pet it!
..
And didn't understand why it ran away when he climbed into the window to get a closer look... City Slickers! I guess they have a few things to learn! :)
