Mother and Young

This was taken in Olympic National Park. This doe and youngster were feeding on grass when the youngster tried to share some grass plucked by the doe. I snapped about three photos during this moment and managed to get the focus right between the nettles. Thanks for looking.

Portrait of a Young Deer

I took this photo in Olympic National Park on the Pacific Coast. I was camping for two days in a tent right next to the Pacific Ocean and I went to sleep at night with the sound of the crashing waves in my ears. Although it always rains a little bit when I camp on the Pacific Coast, this is one of the most peaceful areas I have ever been in. There are plenty of deer, raccoons, eagles, and other wildlife in the forest, and in the ocean there are lots of seals and other sea life, including whales. This deer was munching on some grass near my tent when I took a photo of it.
