As long as flowers are not in bloom, guests like this beauty are welcome in our yard. This one was a bit nervous, moving on through the shrubs as soon as I arrived with camera.
I don’t see deer often on the main road through Deception Pass State Park. Got off two frames this morning before this beauty disappeared into the forest.
She paused for a minute or two, then decided to head west as opposed to coming my way. Anacortes wetlands.
Al fresco dining. This deer enjoyed a blackberry breakfast Tuesday morning near the Fidalgo Island shoreline.
Always a great idea to start the day in one of this community’s natural areas. Today, Ship Harbor, beach and wetlands. I was pleased to encounter a couple of new feathered friends.
A deer that had been eating near the beach at Ship Harbor moves quickly into a wetland area after noticing an approaching beachwalker and her dog.
On Monday, just a few hours before the governor of Washington issued his sweeping “Stay Home” decree, I climbed behind the wheel of the car for a relaxing spin around Anacortes. All of these photos were taken from the car at locations ranging from March’s Point to Heart Lake.
Sunshine drew me to the west side of the city. I was greeted near the entrance to Washington Park by this pair of deer, which moved cautiously from the treeline to the perimeter road leading to the Loop Road.

Mama keeps an eye on the photographer as she and two young ones pause during a stroll on 4th Street near Cap Sante.
Some of the six deer I spotted this morning were in the shadows, some in the sunlight as they moved into the trees after munching on treats provided by a Cap Sante resident. Outside the frame of this photo is a buck.
I was too early to drive the Loop Road, so I cut through the campground at Washington Park to park and wait. On the way I saw a deer, so I parked and followed it into a clearing. There I discovered six of the resident deer population … two or three resting in the shade […]
Washington Park and environs are a great place to photograph wildlife such as this pair of deer. I love such encounters, but a few minutes after taking this photo I spotted four deer in the front yard of a nearby home, and I doubt the homeowner shares my excitement about these lovely creatures.
