Waiting for the Snow Storm to Pass
Here is a Whitetail Doe bedded down during a recent snow fall in the Superior National Forest along the North Shore in Minnesota.

She doesn't look very happy, Mike. This image tells a good story. I wish the two sticks in front of her face weren't there -- it would make for a stronger image. (Bet you wish they weren't there, too.)

Blasted April snow. :biggrin:

I like the scene, but agree that the clutter does get in the way a bit. Good eye to see the deer!

Sorry about the clutter, I was happy she didn't get up and run. My goal was to get in and get out without causing any stress to the animal. It's been a long hard winter. Thanks for the comments!! :wavey:

I like it...it's as though the deer was trying (in the immortal words of Monty Python) "Not To Be Seen."
