...are the tiny, bright green buds.

I met this lady on my walk today. Following the bow hunt not long ago, it is good to see that some of the wild deer are not still terrified of all humans. With much uncertainty, this young doe looked me straight in the eye for a long moment. But when I started to talk quietly to her, she relaxed and went back to her task of eating the Spring shoots.

Hand held shot. Gotta love my go-everywhere 70-300mm DO lens.
