AlertOne morning, not so long ago, I was blogging in my office when I glanced out the window and spotted a white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus)—a fawn—grazing quietly in the yard. I grabbed my camera and began taking pictures, documenting the moment from behind the glass. Before long, the mother stepped into view, and I continued photographing the pair through the window.Curiosity nudged me outside. I made my way to the northwest corner of the fence and climbed onto the concrete bench stationed there, hoping to peer over without disturbing the scene. I fancied myself stealthy, but momma deer saw through the ruse instantly. Still, I managed to capture several good shots.This image—taken at the exact moment I rose above the fence—is my favorite. A threshold crossed, a gaze met, a dispatch sealed.Discover nature's fleeting moments through my lens—visit my photo gallery to see more.swede1952-photographs.pixels.c#photo #photography #photographer #photographylovers #wildlife #nature #bird #birds #birding #birdwatching #birdphotography #WhiteTailedDeer
