Deer pics from atop a windmill on a hot afternoon

Now, did they know you were there?
I had multiple doe and bucks that did not bother circling downwind before approaching that were drinking not 5-15 yards away without ever going on alert or looking up. Of course all deer are a little less guarded (at least in our country) during the summer.
Even though I was on a windmill, I have had it fixed up for bowhunting for some time. Nothing elaborate, just 2"x12"'s laid across the support braces about 18 feet up. I tied ropes across the back and weaved brush between them to prevent be silhouetted.
I will try to think and take a picture of it sometime. It is surprising how effective it compared to one's expectations when first looking at it.
Here's a couple more pics of deer coming to water unaware of my presence.

wWhere at in the pan handle? I hunted in Shamrock Texas back in 2001. Nice country.
Now we are overrun with them like many other parts of the country.
