Oh Deer
Due to the harsh [for western North Carolina] winter we had, there has been an abundance of salt left on the gravel driveway. And apparently deers love that salt, as we have a nearly daily visitor come by to lick as much as he/she can. For about 15 minutes, I was able to capture 98 shots, taken just 28 feet away from the deer [through the window in the garage door]. I posted my favorite 5 on both my White Squirrel Photography site [which is in major need of major changes!] linked below as well as my Flickr site. Hope you like them!

Neat pictures! I love watching deer. Great that you get them up close.

Oh man!
That was baaaaaaad, Michelle! 
Thanks so much both of you. It was pretty cool seeing the deer that close for so long [i see them daily here, but they don't hold still for me for very long, or i'm driving and have to wait till they get out of the road].
I found out that deers, for as beautiful and clean looking as they appear, are the biggest carriers of tics! I would never have known [though it makes sense - they brush against all sorts of plants and trees all the time].
