Through the looking glass…

Since I was a little girl, I have been enamored by deer. Their silent existence, their seamless grace, those big eyes… what’s not to love? This summer our family has been graced by two families of deer living in a tiny thicket at the back of our yard. Two does gave birth to three fawns, and every couple of days, they wander out at a time when I happen to be glancing out the window, which causes me, each time, to stand entranced as if I’ve never seen such a creature before.

This particular morning they wandered to a vantage point with a very near window, and though I am usually loathe to try to shoot through glass (except that which exists within my lens!) I went for it. Perhaps they are NatGeo-worthy, but I am glad to have captured a bit of their essence, up close, for my own memories. Hope you enjoy…
