It’s nature at its closest: Effie Yeaw Nature Center. This amazing place is on the American River in Fair Oaks, about 15 minutes from my home. This Sacramento County Park has a visitors center and bathrooms near the center. Other than that, it’s up to Nature to make changes. Sometimes when we visit, there are no deer in sight and other times: WOW!
Our visit in August was one of those WOW moments. We saw many moms, their fawns and young bucks. I also got a good shot of a woodpecker and two of the American River.
The deer at Effie Yeaw are used to us humans walking by, but we are still careful not to get too close. It’s all about respect and that this is their home we are walking through.

I love the Jack Rabbit photo 🙂

Thanks Brian! Usually they run away fast. I’m just wondering what he was looking at.

What a wonderful series! My pictures of deer are usually as they exit the scene. These are great. I like all of them – but the fawns are the sweetest.

Thanks -N! The deer are used to us so they don’t run unless we get too close.
