The doe took a little time off from busy eating for the photo opportunity, although she didn’t want to give up the tasty colorful leaf. By now everyone who has ever seen my work knows that I’m absolutely “addicted” to develop a deep relationship and establish an intimate communication with mule deer (we don’t have a lot of white-tailed deer around here). Everyday I go out there in the early mornings, hoping to have a close encounter! :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada
The doe kept following me around, trying to get me to take a serious portrait of her and finally she got it! ;)

The young buck stepped in front of his sister to steal the picture. He really likes the camera, a LOT! :)
The doe seemed to be imparting secret wisdom to the fawn, while the daughter focused her attention somewhere else, perhaps just to see if the camera was catching her with a flattering image? :)
Over the last summer and fall, I must have taken over a thousand shots of this old buck alone. He was around most of the mornings when River and I were in the woods. Sometimes he was playful, other times very hungry so he simply ignored the camera and kept on eating but this morning he was pensive and wanted a portrait to express just that! I guess I grew quite attached to him! Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada.
The bird was claiming the seeds all to herself, chirping and chasing away all others (including my dog River). :)
The gorgeous male duck stood proudly as though it was summer while it was almost -40˚c! Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada Thought the colorful duck would like to contribute to the protection of his natural environment. :)
There were many ducks in the little “live” stream that was surrounded by thick ice and deep snow and I caught three close-ups. Both males were looking towards the less colorful female and she was the only one who tried to look through the ice at her own reflection! So I thought perhaps narcissism does not only exist among mankind…. :) Donation to charity / 50% of the proceeds of the sale of this image will be donated to Nature Canada Although deemed narcissistic by my “standard”, I’m pretty sure the “self-centered” less colorful female would not mind the proceeds of the sales of her image be put to use to protect her natural environment – and of course the admiring males could not be happier with the thought, I’m certain of it. :)

Ted would be happy to know that today it was VERY mild and the wood pecker took the opportunity of the “summer-like” weather to get busy at work!
