Hard to be the deer

Life is hard! Apparently life is really hard when you're a deer. I snapped this photo through the living room window as I didn't want to disrupt the difficult life of the deer in the backyard, hence the deck railings. The two laying down are the set of twins from last year who last their mom just after being weaned. The larger one is the male from the set of twins the year before that. They are half siblings as they all shared the same mother deer. My husband jokes he sees more deer from our house on the bluff then he has ever seen deer hunting with his family growing up.
