Roe Deer in the Snow
There have been some really nice snvironmental context pics on here overe the last few days, so before the last threads of winter disappear and the contrast challenges that summer light has to offer are fully upon us, here's an image from this winter.
I set myself a goal of really wanting to boost my stock of wildlife in snowy conditions pics and a trip to Norway was a great help in that respect, and that's where these Roe Deer were to be found, as part of probably the coldest morning in a hide I have ever had and where my feet had literally lost all feeling!! Still moments like this are worth a little suffering.

Wonderful stuff. Don't know how you can stand cold like that, you just deserved to get some good shots.
