They Put On A Pretty Good Show

We seem to have more deer this year than ever before. David planted prairie grass down below and the deer seem to enjoy it. Old eagle eye deer watcher says he has seen 5 different bucks, lots of does and of course a momma and her twins. Tonight these four came to entertain us.
You don't often see a buck and a doe in the same area. Momma and her twins seemed ok with this smaller buck. I wonder if he is her off spring as well.
One of the twins frolicked close to the buck and seemed curious about him.

Lookin damned cute in the dry pond. (Not to worry soon to come visitors of Woelpern's Resort. It will be filled when you get here)
The two together. It was a blast to watch these two kick, run, jump and just enjoy life while momma keeps a close eye.
On their way back into the woods. Again, very unusual to see a buck with a doe and her fawns this time of year.
Jan, the lady slippers at just at the end of their bloom time. Someone told us that they were in full bloom a week ago and we were lucky enough to spot a few still looking good.
I did find fuller blooming lady slippers deeper into the woods.
They are in the ditches and woods about four miles from our place. Wish we had some in our ditch....
Have a safe and fun 4th of July everyone.
