Deer can be funny creatures. I've seen them stick out their tongue before and they always look silly. But this a great capture. The vine hanging down adds an element of interest.

Okay, I'll bite....how about "Yummy Yummy Yummy I've got Love in my tummy" by the Ohio Express?  This is a fine look at this "giant rat" sticking her toungue out to grab that vine.  The lighting really lets the details show, especially in the larger version.  There are so many deer in my yard this year, that for the first time, they're eating the leaves off the Black Walnut tree.

You guessed it Mark.. It's a giant ratenlightened

 I could show the WA view, she's pregnant of coursecool

Alberto: We decided my wife would go first, she needs both eyes done. Was going to just pay out of pocket, but I'm looking into insurance with USAA to cover it. I don't get medicare for another 3 years. So it's on hold for the time being.

Great catch Howard!  Reminds me of girafes eating, though with longer tongues.  The pose of her twisting her head to grab the vine adds a lot, rather than a straight-on eating stance.

No idea myself about the tune, Howard ( Mark may be on the ball there ), but ths is a truly charming image - the detail is great and the moment you've caught delightful.
