Deer in my backyard

I was overwhelmed a few weeks ago when I saw a deer in my backyard. It was large. It had big antlers and sad eyes. It ate bushes and trees. This winter brings much snow and cold in our area. It seems to me the winter season is a very difficult time to find enough food and survive for wild animals. I was surprised this deer was not afraid of people and it trusted me. I tried to go closer and it only looked at me and did not run away. It was amazing and unbelievable for me. I came from a large city and it is not possible to see deer that come so close to where people live. I can only see deer in the zoo or if I am lucky enough I can see them at my summer house near a forest. So it is a wonderful feeling for me to be so close to nature. Now when I wake up every morning, I look out the window with hope to see this deer again in my backyard.
