I could not believe what I was seeing in my view finder. And this was no tame deer. We were shocked, both the deer and I, at this experience. I was lucky to get a photo in focus.
I stay home, use all that I can think of here for inexpensive experiences. I swear, I would have thought this experience was worth the cost and trouble of a long trip to a far away Natl Park. And it was here...........for me, at my age. I have seen a couple, that is all, fleeting glances of wild deer, in the mtns, from my car. But never, ever, an intimate encounter, as this was.
Comments are welcome. I can provide the original. This is cropped slightly. I did this one last night. After taking about 6 photos, this was the only one that was this much in focus, especially with the bird, too. We were not actually close in distance.
I was taking a photo of the bird. Then I was taking a photo of a deer. Across the marsh. It was way after hours, after I should have left for home. No one else was around, nor had they been for some time. I was carefully trying to get down the road without disturbing any birds I might want to photograph. My destination was a tree at the end where the snowys hang out.
MY, my, I am still amazed.
