A Deer in the Clearing


Atop Anarchist Mountain to the East of the town of Osoyoos several roads lead to newly-created and cleared parcels of land. During a late evening drive last week, I captured this shot of a fearless Whitetail Doe, casually grazing on one such property along appropriately named Whitetail Road.

From the bulge in her tummy, I surmised that she was may have been pregnant, or was extremely well fed, or she may have recently given birth.

Her demeanour was very placid and our eyes locked for several minutes, long enough for me to reach for and adjust the setting on my camera.

This was the magical result.
