Architectural August 29

Have you ever seen those plaster statuettes people put in their gardens that look like Bambi? Well, here in the Poconos, we have the real thing.

I took this shot on a morning walk in 2013. The home you see in the background is not mine, but it's very typical of the architectural style in our community. Most of the homes here were originally built as vacation homes but over the years more and more have been converted to full-time homes.
nice to see the real bambi on a lawn. now we need the coloured lights!

Nice shot. As much as my neighbors do everything in their power to keep out the Bambi creatures, I love having them visit. If only they'd eat the poison oak.

Nice photo -- deer visit my yard on a daily basis, but I have yet to get a decent picture of one.

Well done.

Super capture. They have such soft expressions

What a great capture, love the startled expression. Great light and shadows.

I know you must all think it's wonderful to have them around so much but the thrill has definitely worn off for me! They decimated my gardens this year so I have a hard time liking them right now! Too bad they don't like Dandelions- nobody wants them and they grow abundantly!!

Thank you Pyrrhula, Colleen, Jane and Katy!

I'm glad you find this little lady beautiful. Right now she and her friends are on my blacklist! They've wreaked havoc on my garden this year.

My boys would be thrilled to find that doe in our neighborhood! LOL! Beautiful shot!

@homeschoolmom Thank you Lisa! Anytime your guys want to come here to do a little hunting- let me know. I'll put plenty of corn out and they'll have enough venison to last your for four years! And I will be glad to get rid of them!!!
