When winter parcels out its light, deer appear at the fringes of the day.
The sun's first rays warm their thick coats and turn their whiskers into strands of light.
They browse nervously, snapping to attention at every hint of danger.
One false sound, and, tails up, they flee to the cover of the woods.
They come again at evening;
their shadows lengthen and spread into the darkness that gives them shelter.
In His hand is the life of every creature
and the breath of all mankind.

The freedom of a wild animal is wonderful. I love their little tails! Beautiful lighting.

I love those little white tails!!
I don't know how anyone could shoot one of these animals...they'll always be Bambis to me! Beautiful captures!
Cute shots of the White-tailed deer!
I so appreciate how you capture "the fringes of the day". :)
I like how you captured an image of them running away.
it's always such a gift
when they come
and your camera does it
justice
in a lovely and powerful way.
and your WORDS....oh how I love:)

Delightful- especially to this city-dweller.
Great photos. Being able to see the deers' whiskers like that is fantastic.
Wow, those are gorgeous, Connie! Beautiful lighting! Nice job!
how beautiful, the young deer
What sweet captures, Connie. Those little soft whiskers catching the light and the upturned tails as they flee to the woods. Such nervous creatures forever on the lookout for predators.
Oh how beautiful!!!!! Love them.
I especially love the photo of the deer running away.

Beautiful creatures...great pictures...but what a way with words you have! I love the way you told about these two deer....wonderful!
Beautiful animals! I live in the Ozarks too! I think it's the best place in the world!
When I first moved to the country I remember walking out to our barn at dusk and I heard a snorting sound from the nearby woods. It scared the living daylights out of me. It turned out to be a deer that was not happy I was in his territory! They are quite beautiful and I love how fluid and graceful they are in their movements.
Beautiful!
