A deer in the yard!

A first for us, but more importantly the first good look at a deer for Mars. We've driven past them a number of times, but you never know if a two year old really sees it or is just saying they do because that's what a two year old does. The dogs had started barking madly, and I saw the deer out the kitchen window. Mars got to stand on the counter and see. It was pretty exciting for him as he had recently watched Bambi.

I think it came thru the golf course, over the highway, and down our creek. The next night I startled it out of the ravine while going down to the river to fill up the watering can. A regular visitor maybe? The dogs often have a bark fest late in the evenings.
