black-tailed deer ~ 04/18/06 ~ at home

deer and pride of Madeira
Echium candicans
Boraginaceae

These are probably the very first pictures of deer I have from home. It was so exciting at the time to see them in the park below our balcony... but now it's a bit mundane, so much so that we get a bit peeved when tourists block our driveway in order to take pictures of the deer. The purple flowers are pride of Madeira.

ps 11/19/10 - Now that I look at these pictures again, I wonder if these were triplets with their mother.
