When I saw this White-tailed Deer doe at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge standing at the forest edge with mist behind her, I couldn’t resist taking her photo.<\/p>\n

\"White-tailedWhite-tailed Deer doe on a misty morning \u2013 Canon R7, handheld, f8, 1\/160, ISO 1600, Canon EF 100-400mm II at 400mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

The doe was moving through the forest with two yearlings who were still in the woods. She stopped and looked our way for a while, I\u2019m guessing to be ready to sound the alarm if we seemed like a threat.<\/p>\n

My dear friend Steve Creek<\/span><\/a> was photographing her from outside the driver’s side of his pickup, while I was standing outside the passenger door.<\/p>\n

I was hoping the two yearling deer would move out into the open and continue what we had seen them doing in the woods. You might now wonder what they were doing. The two young deer were butting heads, but I couldn\u2019t get a clear view of them while they were in the wooded area.<\/p>\n

We’ve been seeing a lot of deer on our recent trips to the refuge, and that has made me happy. It\u2019s wonderful to see White-tailed Deer again.<\/p>\n

I’m excited to be able to photograph whitetails in all kinds of light and habitats. From fog to bright morning light. In the lotus pads of a slough. At a forest edge with spring grasses. Or on a tallgrass prairie!<\/p>\n

It won\u2019t be long before this doe and the other deer have shed their winter coats and look sleek and gorgeous again.<\/p>\n

Spring is changing the feel of the landscape and the way some birds and animals look. Quite frankly, I\u2019m enjoying every moment of it. Why wouldn\u2019t I?<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
