A Doe. A Deer. A Female Deer.

I was feeding Britton his morning oatmeal on Sunday, and I glanced up at our den windows, and, lo and behold, I see this beautiful thing ...

A deer chomping on the weeds in our backyard just casually peering through our windows. I grabbed my camera -- thinking Danny will never believe me -- and prayed Piper didn't start barking.

After a few minutes of eating and peering, the deer turned and disappeared into the "woods." We don't really live in the woods, though we have 100+ trees on our lot. Sounds very woodsy, but our neighborhood is completely surrounded by urban sprawl ... highways and interstates. No doubt this deer was very lost ... but glad she came by for a visit.
