Features :: PHOTOS :: Deer

Deer are such gentle creatures. Such a unique sight plunges one headlong into the Jataka tales of Buddhist lore and the story of the selfless Banyan deer. Click image for larger view. May load slowly! This deer was doubtless not alone, but was willing to explore very close to the house. In the second photo, some barely audible sound made the deer curious. In the third photo, note the tip of the pipe that holds the clothesline. A picture of bears coming up the same path is elsewhere on the Photos pages. © 2005, the hermitary and Meng-hu
