Deer From Dale's Veranda

We were sitting on Dale's veranda, after a lovely supper of our own making, and visiting about what a wonderful day we had.  "We" included, Sandy and Allen Clark, two of the dearest folks we have ever met, Dale Hannegrefs, whose praises we continue to sing, and Lance and myself: a motley crew, I might add.

Sandy spied two little deer foraging for tender grasses on a little strip of exposed vegetation in the river that runs along Dales property. Actually, the little river is the headwaters of the mighty Rio Grande, but here it is a little river.  These deer aid us no never-mind, until Sandy alerted all of us to their close proximity and I scrambled for my camera.  I don't know how wildlife know when they have been "made" but they immediately waded into the water and took their leave of us!

Can you imagine what a terrific backyard view Dale has?

There were two deer here but they separated before I got my camera rolling so I couldn't get them

both together.  

This doe was still wading and the water was getting deeper! 

This doe is the second doe who waded out into the water after the first one.

They eventually crossed tot he other side and were away!
