It was a cold night...
This deer spent the night of December 17th sleeping on the mat at our back door. The Big Guy and I turned off the inside lights and I photographed the deer through a window without using the flash to avoid scaring it off.
Despite our stumbling around in the dark, very loud whispering (I'm a bit deaf so normal whispering is futile), yanking the window blinds up and down, and my clunking the camera lens against the window it wasn't disturbed by us at all and simply turned around a few times before lying back down on the mat.
The next morning the deer was gone. The Big Guy indignantly downgraded the deer's cuteness rating from 5-Stars to zip after finding the mound of deer poop it left behind on the mat.
