Small deer...

This sweet little deer was much closer, grazing under the apple trees, when I stopped my car to get a photo at work today.  But as I fumbled about with the window and my camera bag it slowly backed away, not letting me out of its sight...  :-)

Back home from work and on with my latest essay...  Alfred Dog is relieved that he's off modelling duty today, and is using the extra free time to sunbathe in the corner after yesterday's disappointment.  The sun may be out, but it's strangely very cold...
