This is one of the young Mule Deer from the group at the Calgary Zoo. Really very cute, and it actually stood still long enough for me to take a few photos. They are living outdoors in a large area that looks very similar to the natural areas where we see them in the wild. Though I would much rather see and photograph deer in the wild, I couldn't resist the temptation to capture this little guy/gal. Even cuter, I think, in the large size : )

I had been photographing a group of Mule Deer this morning at the top of a hill. When I started the steep climb down, the deer were already coming behind me and cutting across the hill instead of going down. I noticed this buck following the rest of the group and assumed he would just follow them. I just happened to be partly concealed by a low bush, when suddenly the buck came trotting down the path where I was. Not sure who was more surprised! I know, this photo makes him look rather funny, with his antlers that are beginning to grow, and his enormous ears.
