Grazing Fawn

Today this little fawn stood and posed for me even after I opened the patio door. The deer don't usually get this close to the house. It's fun to be able to watch them up close. 
Meanwhile, the black rat snake took up residence in the duck's dog house and has been eating the guinea hens' eggs. We were wondering why there have been fewer eggs the past couple of days. When my husband went to pull the duck's egg he found the snake curled up next to the nest. Thank goodness our son took care of the snake for us.
