Of course I was thrilled to come upon these deer. I got out of the car and started talking to them and taking photos. They were out in Rancho Murieta where we attended a concert. At first, I thought they were white tail deer but instead I think they are healthy mule deer.

Later, I was told it is rutting season and they can be aggressive and could even have attacked me. Maybe I am naive, maybe I am lucky but I was talking sweetly to them and they calmly walked away across the road. Nice on Black.
