One day earlier in the month, I spied two deer resting beneath the cedar tree in the field to the left of our house. I slipped around the corner with my camera.
The buck was facing me. He had a broken horn.
As I stood there, camera clicking away, he closed his eyes. I was able to study him from afar. Notice his scars on his leg and side. I think he was in a big fight with another buck.
Soon his head lolled over and he was off to dreamland. It was probably a well-deserved rest from the looks of him.
I'm glad he got that well-deserved rest in the sun, too. It must have taken great force to break a horn like that.
ReplyDeleteHe sure looks content all curled up in the grasses. Huge damage to his antler. :(
ReplyDeleteAwww, how sweet. I've been following a photographer from Wisconsin on Facebook, who has been photographing a couple albino deer. Are they ever beautiful. His page is Life in the Northwoods.
ReplyDeleteWow, those are great pictures. He's beautiful! You got close to them!
