Doe and Fawns
On Departure Bay Road

This doe and her two fawns (one was in the trees) were spotted on Departure Bay Road near Newton Road.

As locals know deer sightings in this area are most common and the deer have little fear of automobiles, which for the most part slow down as they approach.

While it is nice to see a little touch of nature up close I am not sure the local gardeners are all that keen on the deer population. It seems they like prize roses just as much as weeds for lunch!
