Ashcreek Deer
Submitted by Michael Kisor on October 14, 2005 - 10:42am. Ashcreek | WildlifeThis photograph, of a young buck, was taken in a backyard in the Ashcreek neighborhood. His tracks had been spotted a week before he posed for this picture, and he has been nibbling on zucchini in the garden since late summer. He also left behind “other” solid evidence of his presence in the neighborhood. If you should see young Bambi, please welcome him to the neighborhood.
