Deer at the Mountain

The last week of August, we took a few days off to enjoy some time at Mt. Hood.  This is such a beautiful time of year up there as the leaves are just starting to turn.  We had a couple of damp days early in the week, and it brought out some lovely visitors-we looked and found this sweet buck in the meadow.  He showed up in several shots and must have been as curious about us as we were of him.

For about three days, the deer arrived at dawn and dusk and then as the weather improved, we didn't see them again.  All in all, we saw about 5 adults and tweens-more than we had seen in years.  I don't know if  that says anything about the upcoming winter, but we sure enjoyed the company.
