Relaxing mule deer...

There’s a herd of about 18 of these friendly creatures that regular chill out on my property, less than 10 meters from my door. There’s no hunting allowed in the community, and I don’t have a dog, so this is a quiet place to hang out. They even watch me when I’m out doing my astrophotography thing!
