Ross Getman, of Syracuse, wrote the following about his photo of three deer:

"Today these three deer were visiting the backyard of my neighbor and mother-in-law Patricia Waelder in the Valley -- as they do every day.

"They commonly would come before dawn. During the summer they would eat Mr. Dorsey's plants across the street.

"I'm told that Ivory Snow hung from the trees would discourage them from hanging around.

"But I think deer are beautiful and an affirmation of life.

"So while I wish everyone safe driving and fruitful gardening, I think it is one of the many wonderful things about living in Central New York."

Margie Manthey, of Marietta, wrote:

"I would venture to guess that you don't get tired of wildlife photographs -- even if they're more Whitetail pic's!

"This beautiful doe was bedded down with a few other ladies under some oak trees this afternoon. Although wary, they must have been feeling lazy and didn't bother getting up.

"This was the only shot I took, and I moved along to avoid disturbing them."
