Very unexpected! I looked out the window to see check the weather & saw this young fellow looking back at me. I then had to find the camera, attach a lens, and quietly go outside before he moved on. I also had to totally change all the settings on the camera to get this hand held in dull light. Deer are NOT common in our yard, and this is the first one that I've ever photographed here. Obviously "the city" moving farther & farther out - plus over building in the suburbs - is driving wild deer into residential areas.
