Unexpected sighting of an axis deer family between a lake and a residential area. There were five in the family, but I could only capture three of the five in my few quick shots. I usually only briefly (and rarely) catch sight of spotted deer in very rural areas. They are exotic deer, introduced to ranches in Texas in the 1930s. Some have escaped the fenced ranches over the years.

Wonderful capture of a wonderful sighting of a beautyful deer family

Thank you, Michel. Such a surprise to see a family of five of them. They stood out on an overcast day.

What a sweet family shot. You really have a way with animals. They all seem to trust you.

Thanks. I think it is because we are patient and try not to startle wildlife. Direct eye contact is too scary for them.
