Who's Hiding in the Willows?

While walking slowly through the ponds one evening recently (before the 100 degree heat wave arrived), I glanced to my right and discovered a white-tailed deer foraging amond the willows and other plants. 


The doe was as surprised to see me as I was to see her. The next view I had was of the white flag on her rump.
