This was the day following the massive 227-mile tornado and the wind had been blowing hard all day.
At 3:PM, I looked out the door; and, the first thing I saw was a deer, standing on it's hind legs, and eating something, over it's head, in a bush.
That is the shot I wish I could have got; but, by the time I got the camera into action, it had already dropped back to all fours and never went up like that again.
At first, it was the only deer I saw.
I grabbed the camera from the shelf, and, standing in the open doorway, started taking pictures.
Within seconds, like ghosts, deer just started materializing everywhere.
I know for fact that I saw four deer and believe it was more like eight.
I was surprised that they were out and about during such strong wind.
They weren't their usual alert, ready to bolt selves and never exhibited a hint of nervousness.
I believe they feel somewhat secure in our little isolated pocket.

At least there was enough daylight that I didn't have to pull these images out of darkness.
I was standing in the open doorway, shooting across the top of a truck; I was afraid that if I tried for a better position that the fun would immediately be over, so I worked with what I had.
The shiny blur at bottom-right in the first picture, and a hint of it in the other two, is the tip of a chrome exhaust stack.
That truck sitting between me and them may be what prevented them from bolting at the first click of the door.
There will be several more photos added as I get them ready; so, please revisit often to see them all.
Thanks for looking; I hope you like them.
