On the way home from taking the last load of belongings to our daughter's house today we saw these deer near the side of the road. My husband backed up and I felt sure they would take off as soon as they heard the noise from his truck. They didn't They stayed for quite a while and I was pleased to get several shots before they bounded off.
@maggiemae Thanks! I debated whether to wait and see if they would both get in the light and decided to go ahead and get what I could. I really wanted that baby in there and this was the best I could get of the two of them!
Thanks for the follow too, Maggiemae. why did you decide to follow?
@tara11 Thanks, Tara! I feel about the same! I took some aspirin before church and it helped but I am now home in my jammies. Glad you like the shot! I took it from the truck window!
Beautiful capture ... you were very lucky!! Did you capture this from the truck? Love their eyes and alert ears. Today I crept quietly up to a tree to capture an eagle sitting way up in a high branch. But "old eagle eye" saw me coming and flew off. No capture and I froze half to death trying. Oh well .....
@dauber I really appreciate it RL. I actually had to "erase" a rather large branch that crossed the back and side of the doe and the face of the fawn. Your comment makes me believe I was successful with that edit! Thanks you so much for the nice words and the FAV!
@karenann Yes I was sitting in the truck on the side of the road. I would never have been able to catch it if I were in the wild myself! I am not as adventurous as you! ;~} LOL! I love hearing about your experiences though! thanks you so much and I know I was luck because this is the first time on over a that I have had even a chance of getting a deer shot!
Thanks for the follow too, Maggiemae. why did you decide to follow?
By the way- sleep well at 4:30 pm
I can't believe they didn't take off with the sound of the truck.
