I didn't know the antlers were furry @MamaWick .  I love to see Willow napping.

@MamaWick,

These are just breathtaking photos!

Those first 2 should be framed.

And that last-awww! I feel like you gave us the ability to hug and pet him-it is so real we could just reach out and pet those soft antlers, sweet head and ears. That must have been like a dream memorable moment.

@MamaWick   Happy Saturday!  Handsome bucks enjoying treats and safety.  The buck choosing his own is terrific.  What beautiful eyelashes.  The detail in your photography is amazing.  

Woofs and hugs to adorable Miss Willow White.  There's always a good time to snooze. 🥰

 

Woofs and love to sweet Cricket in heaven.  💕🌈

@KatieB. While the antlers grow, they are velvety and vascular with the blood nourishing the antlers.  In a few months, the bucks will do everything they can to rub the velvet off.  The velvet sometimes hangs off the antlers and is icky.  Usually around February, they lose the antlers totally and velvety regrowth starts anew.

Love the deer around the wild flowers!  The second picture looks as if you are somehow getting a mirror image!  

 

Easy to believe he is tame enough to eat out of your bowl as you hold it!  He is probably one of your babies!

 

 

Willow, enjoy your nap pretty girl!  You can find your stuffed carrot when you wake up!Smiley Happy
