The Casual Observer

I don't know who the casual observer is - the deer or the camera.  What I've learned from personal observation is that the infrared 'flash' on the camera has a soft red glow when it fires.  It's pretty mild compared to a typical flash strobe  but it's hardly invisible - at least to the human eye.

I like this series of snapshots only because the animal is so casual and unalarmed in her approach, nibble and departure...
