How Deer You

These are the first of the wildlife shots from my trip to Canada. These beautiful whitetail deer were spotted on Mission Island near the Mission Marsh Conservation area (site of one of my best wildlife sightings during the trip).

These deer are completely wild but have become used to living alongside the residents in this quiet community grazing on the lush grass and feeding on the apples in the autumn. Although they seem quite happy posing for photos they remain alert and will quickly disappear into the undergrowth if they get spooked.
