Recently, while camping at Lake Siskiyou near Mt Shasta in Northern California, I had the opportunity to get up really close to this cute deer. My wife and I were walking through the campground when we came upon this deer munching on some leaves. I approached very slowly taking photos and the deer watched me but didn’t seem to mind. Generally they are pretty docile and the few I’ve seen don’t generally seem to mind people. It probably helps that they can run away faster than I could even take three steps!!

Later in the day we saw a whole family of deer, but they were on the move and I didn’t have time to get a photo before they were gone.
