Boxing Day Doe

Here's a doe that was sunning herself in a neighbours' garden today. Click on the image to see the larger version. The houses on the north side of the street quite often get deer stopping in to sun, rest or snack. We are a little more fortunate in that on the south side of the street they don't usually stop to eat or rest. Normally they are just passing through.

Because of our proximity to both Stoney Brook and the north branch of the Thames river, we have deer all year round in our neighbourhood. I think it's cool considering we are a city of 350,000 population.
