I need to post every day for awhile to catch up on my hiking photos! But I'll at least try to do 2 posts a week for awhile. The weather is so gorgeous that we are getting out just about every other day!
We spotted this Buck when we walked down a firebreak road near the Florida Trails trailhead at hwy 484.
White-Tailed Deer
I like to name the trails and I've named this one Sunshine Trail. It's nice and open and bright. And with many leaves off the trees, it's easier now to spot wildlife.
Some of my bike friends have mentioned seeing a big buck and we were so happy to get a good view of him.
But the encounter that was amazing to us was with the doe.
She walked toward my husband.
He stayed as still as he could...
and was even taking photos of the buck while she walked by.
If I had captions it would say....
"Hey mister, did you know you're standing in the deer crossing?"
We came away exhilarated after this experience!
Nature never disappoints, does it?
Hope you can get outside and enjoy nature this week too!

What beautiful photos of your walks.
Very nice that the deer came so close to you.
Here it has been raining and storming very hard for days, so much that you cannot go for a walk.
I wish you a nice week.
Greetings Irma
...you saw and captured some gorgeous images. Here they get spooked and run off quickly. Enjoy your week Diane.
Hello,
Wonderful captures of the deer, they seem almost tame.
Love the handsome buck and the pretty doe.
Take care, have a happy day and a great new week!
that buck is so handsome and so is the lady friend... what fun to get so close to these wildlife creatures.
What a terrific experience, Diane! Encounters with wildlife are always special.
Thanks to you, we have finally discovered where the buck stops!
That must have been an unforgettable experience. And the photos are magnificent. You are right, nature never fails us and we need to be out in her as much as we can.
Great photos!
A thrilling encounter, the weather looks perfect.
That's a handsome herd of deer and your photos are wonderful. They seem so gentle.
Absolutely beautiful!!
Truly amazing!
Beautiful photos! Deer are daily visitors to our yards but I never tire of seeing them, Diane. They are such interesting creatures. Be careful around bucks during mating season as they can be onerous though, Other times of the year they are pretty mild-mannered.
OMG I love the deer on your hike. How beautiful is that buck and the doe to be so unafraid and curious of you. Days and sightings like this is what makes life so grand. Happy New Week. Hugs. Kris
Now that would be exciting to have that doe so close and be able to capture such great photos. We see deer fairly often, but only once was it a buck.
Sacastes unas preciosas fotografías, me encantaron los ciervos. Un abrazo.
WOW, great photos!! It looks like the buck has a battle scar on him? Do you see it too?
As your pictures adequately demonstrate, it's much better to be out as part of nature than sitting at the computer reporting on it - although we hope you continue to do that too.
Wow! These are really delightful dear!
This is so good to see a wild deer passing by
Wonderful photos of Mr & Mrs Deer!
What a fabulous experience. Both are beautiful.
Wowwwww beautiful nature ….amazing to see…I love to see your post…happy week love from me and Leaf 🍀❤️🐾🍀

Enjoy your week.
All the best Jan

thank you for sharing wonderful photos.
What a lovely encounter! I love seeing them in the forest.
What amazing encounters you had with those deer!! WOW!! Thanks for sharing your Sunshine Trail with us!
I would LOVE some warm sunshine right now! Great shots of your hike, especially the deer. I know they are pests around here, but I find them so graceful and lovely.
Wow Diane, both the deer are beautiful!! What a great experience. It's been chilly over here, but probably good hiking weather -- we will get back out there again ...someday!!
Yes, I agreee, Dear Diane, the Nature never disapponts. And I`m wondering, the deers are unbashful.
Thank you for sharing at MosaicMonday. It was a great pleasure for me.
Have a wonderful week,
Hugs by Heidrun

I love the photos of the deer! We saw a small buck in our backyard last week. He was looking at us, and was in no hurry to depart. Have a great rest of your week!
Really amazing photos of those deer. I love that you name your trails! I actually have never seen deer in Florida. How interesting that the doe walked near your husband!
Diane - I did not know you could still find deer in Florida. How wonderful is that?!? And if there are deer, there must be mommies and daddies! Spectacular photos! We are in our gray mode in Montana right now, so it is refreshing to see dappled sunlight SOMEWHERE!!!
We see deer here often sometimes in our yard, but I enjoyed walking along with you today. I am now a follower as I have enjoyed my visit to your blog.
Beautiful photos of the deer and so close. Beautiful header. Thank you for your friendship.
Despite what they've done to gardens including mine back in Maryland, they are lovely creatures. Do you have issues with deer ticks in FL and Lyme disease?
Those are great deer pictures! They come out here every evening like clock-work-- right up to our porch!-- I LOVE seeing them. We had another bitter cold spell but it's now warmed up
Love the photos of the buck!
Beautiful photos! You live a such a pretty area.
Oh, amazing photos of the deer and buck!! Wow!!! Those are great. I was hoping to see one this evening when we took a walk but there was no sign of any. You have been blessed to find such great sightings of them so close up! Thank you for sharing with us!
