Young deer, tried stopping by my lilies for a snack! I took this picture through the window but accidentally left the flash on from the last pic taken... This is the moment the deer noticed me - it didn't bolt until I started opening the door! (and it didn't seem to get any of the lilies... this time)

You should get a deer crossing sign and put it near your house so the deer know to stop by more.

Speaking of "deer crossing" - I was told there was a group of 3 deer in the street in front of our house, earlier in the morning!

It's a residential street that's hard to go fast on, so we don't have a "deer x-ing" sign.
