Deer in daylight

This deer had turned the Permaculture Garden at St. Lawrence University into her home for weeks by the time this picture was taken. She had become a nuisance - ravaging crop left unprotected. On this particular day, she was munching on some apple tree leaves. About a week later, I spotted her hiding in the tall grass in the garden with new twin fawns.
