my deer friend

My first run in ages. I bumped into this young deer in crab wood as I came out of a field onto the footpath - literally face to face we both paused and took a look at each other.

I thought for a moment it might be like the deer in the recent documentary on Japan where they just wander around this town among the people. I slowly walked towards it.

Not the case, it jumped into the field, stopped and had another look, (just long enough for me to get a quick shot) then took off.
