Deer resting in my backyard along the fence line

As I watered plants outside my back door, I suddenly noticed that a deer was staring at me from the fence line in my backyard.  I had seen this deer in my yard more than a week ago and it had not scurried away at the sight of me. In fact, there was only about 30 feet of distance between us as I sat on a chair under the trees, keeping still, watching it.  Today it rested, ensconced in a spot between the fence and a tree, behind the azalea bushes, for about 30 minutes before it disappeared.
