2409_0684 Mule Deer Doe & Fawns

            The evening sun was sinking low behind a hill as I watched three does and three fawns browsing slowly across a grassy bench. In this photo, the nearest fawn belongs to the doe, and she is ambling over to rejoin her little one. Deer society can be downright nasty, but on this occasion all was calm, and a moment later the other fawn found its mother.

No drama here, but the quality of light was surprisingly good, if rather low key. Early fall. Wild prairie. My role: observe and record. I learned that years ago from a sculptor friend who drew his inspiration from war, famine, injustice, and strife of all kinds. My chosen subject matter - most of the time - has little to do with people, and everything to do with life in the wild places. Out here, I don't have to be angry.
