White-tailed doe in sunlight

I posted a rather similar shot recently, but with one of her two young ones also in the photo. When I was on a walk at Votier's Flats, Fish Creek Park, with friends on 2 December 2014, the person in front of me asked if I'd seen any deer that morning. Immediately after he had asked and I had said no, someone spotted this little family of White-tailed Deer. The doe had two youngsters with her and they were quite a distance away, peering at us through a gap in the trees. The sun was right on the doe's face - couldn't have been luckier. Such a brief encounter, but magical. After this walk in a winter wonderland, I drove to a different part of Fish Creek Park - Bebo Grove - to see if there was any sign of the Barred Owl. No luck this time, either. I also needed to hurry up and reach the first 100 km of driving on my new snow tires so that I could get the lugnuts (?) tightened. I didn't want to do a "long" drive outside the city till that had been done. Then all I had to do was wait till the road conditions improved. I started off on just a very short drive SW of the city a few days ago and had to turn back because the roads were so bad, both main road and the side roads. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-tailed_deer

Watching us watching them

When I was on a walk at Votier's Flats, Fish Creek Park, with friends yesterday, the person in front of me asked if I'd seen any deer that morning. Immediately after he had asked, someone spotted this little family of White-tailed Deer. The doe had two youngsters with her (yearlings?) and they were quite a distance away, peering at us through a gap in the trees. The sun was right on the doe's face - couldn't have been luckier. Such a brief encounter, but magical. After this walk in a winter wonderland, I drove to a different part of Fish Creek Park - Bebo Grove - to see if there was any sign of the Barred Owl. No luck this time, either. Also wanted to hurry up and reach the first 100 km of driving on my new snow tires so that I could get the lugnuts (?) tightened. I didn't want to do a "long" drive outside the city till that had been done. Now all I have to do is wait till the road conditions have improved. I started off on just a very short drive SW of the city three (?) days ago and had to turn back because the roads were so bad, both main road and the side roads. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White-tailed_deer
