The Woods

We live in the hills of Tennessee...Literally. We have about an acre behind the house that is mostly woods, lots of trees and little animals. I've seen opossum, skunks, squirrels and even some deer.
Last week I was able to get a picture of one of the deer, I believe it's the "mama". I've seen her before, with her three offspring. They are so cute to watch, but I have to watch from inside the house. As soon as I open the back door they bolt and run away.

Here's the pic I was able to get. I think she knows I'm there! ha ha


I snapped this one just a sec too late to catch the little ones with Mama. They ran up over the hill just as I raised the camera. I was taking pictures of my cat outside when I happened to turn around and there were all four deer, looking at me.

As you can see... the leaves were just starting to change. One week has made a big difference. The trees and shrubs are all so many beautiful colors now.
The air is crisp today and the temp is suppose to drop tonight! I love it...Fall is definately here.

Jeff, my son in law, told me hunting season starts soon. How anyone could kill such a beautiful animal as a deer is beyond me.
