LOOK NOT INTO THE PAST - 12/30/10 09:32 AM

DOE OR BUCK ??? - 12/23/10 10:33 AM
Ok, this is just a test, take a look at this young deer in my front yard eating what is left of the green grass and tell me if you think it is a doe or a buck.  Tell me why you think it is a either a buck or a doe and we will see how many get it right.  I think that most of the men will know as soon as they study the photo.  The photo was made through a front window so the image is not very sharp, sorry about that.
