While sitting in one of my favorite places photographing bluebirds yesterday, I noticed a deer running towards me. While I was in the process of moving my camera and tripod to point at her I noticed that her fawn was following her. I've recently seen her nursing the fawn in the area but the mother rarely brings the fawn out into the open, so getting a good photo has been difficult.
I captured 65 frames in the sequence of this mother and fawn running across the open field. Something I find very interesting is that I don't have a single photo where they were looking directly at me. This is my favorite image from the sequence and one of a few that captured both of them in the same frame. I especially enjoy the looking at how small the fawn is compared to its mother.
