Doe and Willow

A doe tastes the first Willow leaves of Spring in Kripplebush, New York. So many do not realize that New York is more than The City.

    Love this! Normally I would have said she is too centered, however, I absolutely love that she
    separates the dark left from the lighter right! I love the different textured feel here! Wonderfully captured!!!

  • Maureen Maliha replied

    Thanks so much!!! I thought the same thing at first but then went back to the original, since it is how I shot it. The light/dark got me.

  • blackwingedbird

    I love the deer’s pose: the angles of her back legs and the way her neck is stretched… and the open space around her lends a peaceful feeling to this portrait. Great job!

  • Wayne Cook

    Wayne Cook

    Doe, among the towering trees,
    Your nose cold and searching,
    Your narrow tapered neck,
    Like the woman, so beautifully bare,
    Sound intrude into your presence,
    You tremble,
    Your pain of survival,
    Your flight,
    Certain and fair,
    Like an eagle,
    You’d soar as you jumped,
    The fright, you beauty displayed,
    How can you dance so
    When I breath your name
    Take away my own ears,
    I cannot relax,
    While you are so furtive!
    The hard dirt beneath your dainty pads,
    And Heaven holds its breath.

    I just love to watch them, I have a number of them go through my yard everyday.

  • Maureen Maliha replied

    Do you hunt? (she asked, hoping for a good answer)

    Dont believe in killing animals, I rather watch their beauty than look at a dead body. I did hunt rabbits and small game when I was young but Ive grown up now.

  • Maureen Maliha replied

    :) I can see if people need to eat, but to call it a sport? not a chance in hell. I have been known to clank a lot of pots and pans at specific locations to spook ‘my deer’ into dense brush and out of line of sight. The ‘men’ who sit up in trees and shoot down at these beautiful creatures, are not hunters, either- they are murderers. But now im going off lol… Thank you, Larry xoxoxxo

    have seen many willows today, in my foray. They do not grow naturally here (Western Australia),but are planted on farm fringes then sucker… only thrive where there is excess groundwater. Now they are making new bright green luscious leaves. Such a beautiful tree, and you have captured it essentially, being nibbled delicately.
    Something we will never see…
    thank you for the sight!

  • Maureen Maliha replied

    It’s sad that you won’t see this.. they are truly a beautiful tree… and the deer really love them too :-) Thanks, Naia, for your thoughts. I always appreciate it very much when people share them with me xo

  • Naia

    Naia

    no deer in Australia, plenty kangaroo, sheep, cows etc however. even my guinea pigs & chooks like to eat it, but no does. Many willows soft and bending in the wind…. and some ancient and shading far + wide carpark, most welcome shade.
    here comes summer

    I’ve always loved this one, as have the 9,782,612 other commentors above. What I like most is the puff of light on the branches to the right, and on the right side of the deer, which give the image an ethereal aura.

  • Maureen Maliha replied 16 days ago

    lol Thank you, Peter. All I did to this was obviously convert it and play slightly in contrasts. Got very lucky with the light and a cooperative doe :-) xo
