Beautiful pic. But of course I would say that as my favorite subject matter is the deer! That second deer had me fooled for a minute, at first I just saw one! Looks like they spotted you and trying to figure it out. Looks like they have a regular path they follow. The snow is beautiful but I think I'm glad we are having weather in the 70's already and even reached the 80's a couple of days.

Every hair on that deer shows up so sharp......love it!

Great job! I love the detail and the light--and the long shadows. Shot in late day?

which hydrangas are not deer candy?
Q

I live in North Carolina and deer will eat Annabell, Tardiva, Oakleaf...never seen a hydrangea that they didn't eat. That said...I once lived on land where the deer had plenty of food in the wild, so they didn't eat my hydrangeas. So, when I built another house, I planted all my favorites...but, that deer herd didn't have enough to eat in the wild, so they ate all of my hydrangeas...and hostas. When we built here, I knew the deer were around, so I had to stop growing hydrangeas. I have one inside a fence and I'd love to have more. It's gambling with your money to plant hydrangeas outside of a fence. A small garden where deer can't see how to escape works better than a large garden where deer think they can jump over the fence and back out again. Deer resistant gardening happens to be my niche since a herd of over 30 sleeps beside my flower garden every night. Cameron

No drought conditions here but the deer eat everything. They even eat my daturas and castor though they haven't gone after the milkweed.....yet. I never thought about the impact they have on the butterfly population and insects in general until I heard that report. At least the deer can't get into the backyard and that's where my butterfly garden is. Sherry I used to feel the same way. I was such a bambi lover. Now we allow friends to hunt on our property with bow & arrow, no guns. We have an electrified fence at the farm but can't use that at home, besides that it would look terrible and the neighbors would have a fit. We do have fun with the deer at the farm. They love peanut butter so we spread it on aluminum pie plates and attach the plates to the live wire. The deer can't help themselves and keep going back for more and getting zapped. It's like watching a Simpson's episode. lol

Eupatorium and Deer

does anyone know if deer will eat variations of Eupatorium? We are getting tired of the few deer-resistant plants we can have in the open (daffodils, allium, iris) and wish to branch out but not just to provide food for the deer. thanks Dell New Paltz, Hudson Valley, home of the white-tailed deer

Thank you all!
These pictures...1:20 PM was shot with a little cheap Sony Cybershot, I hacked and hocked up on a motion control board, all inside a watertight pelican box shooting through glass. This put on a tree.
It was funny, the last picture was shot first, Deer noticed the lense moving inside the box, deer went a step back and looked again, [first picture]

Some night shots..

Beautiful photos! I was going to ask how close to the deer you actually were, but then I read your explanation of how you took the photos. Very clever!!
