Doe, Bucks, And Fawns! Weekly Themed Image Thread

I'll start things out with the two deer images I have taken that have actually turned out :)

The first is a photograph I took on a hike in the Hoh River Rain Forest. I came across a meadow and this beautiful deer in the sunlight. Digitally enhanced for a painterly effect.
The second was taken at a beautiful corporate retreat called Tice Ranch up in the beautiful Methow Valley in Eastern Washington where I worked many years ago. Most mornings as I walked into the main building I would be greeted with a scene like this! A great place to work. Digitally enhanced for a painterly effect.

Earlier this year, I was fortunate enough to have seen a rare leucistic deer. Leucistic animals differ from albino animals in that there is still some pigment present. Note that her eyes and nose are brown, not pink. Scientists estimate that only one in 10,000-40,000 deer have this rare coloring.

Wow Loree, that is incredible!

Here are a few of my deer images. All of these deer were photographed in Colorado.

Took this image out my car window while driving down a country road in the High Sierras

I also took this picture of a sweet little fawn hiding in the near-by grasses

And, these beauties were found while walking through the woods in Cherry Creek State Park in Colorado

I was so leased with this. He lay there in the sun and I walked right up to him more or less

He just watched me....carefully

This is a Fallow deer and they have been in this park since the 1700's

Thanks for the thread, Parker!




This baby was in a field alone for a time as it's mother had gone to feed. The backlighting on those big ears made it all worth it for me that late afternoon.

All the above were taken from my dining room window! Deer are my favorite local animal ... wish we had bears nearby!

I, literally, tried my hand at finger painting last year and this was my first piece. A a sleeping fawn.

You're more likely to come across deer in London's Richmond Park on weekdays than on the weekend when they tend to steer clear of the increased number of visitors.

Both deers where very curious... ;-)

See Um?

Some of my deer photos:

I think these are in the deer family. Guess I should add "deer to my tags.lol

There's a buck in this painting. See if you can find him.

JL, that don't count if those other two characters ate that buck! lol

Great image! And yes I do see the buck!

Here are a few of my deer related images:

LOL, thanks, Floyd!

This little guy walked right up to me...taken about two weeks ago.

Deer are some of my favorite people!! Oh wait, they're NOT people??!?!

Roe Deer and two fawns. I just saw them for two clicks then a dog barked and they bounded off.


Mule Deer:


Red Deer:

I was taking some macro wildflower shots at Killbear Provincial Park, heard a noise in front of me, looked up, and was totally surprised by the Deer right in front of me!

I just realized how many deer pictures I actually have in my gallery...we're surrounded by them and people are always trying to figure out a way to keep the deer from eating their gardens. As a matter of fact, this morning I was disappointed to see that every last leaf of the kale I was growing had been eaten by a deer. They help themselves to our strawberries and one year I had a deer always coming around that had a real fondness for my geraniums. I still love photographing them though...

This is probably my favorite deer shot (of my own photographs). It was taken right in the middle of our village.



This photograph was featured in Canadian Geographic magazine's "Best Wildlife Photos of 2010". The fawn was bobbing for apples in a creek.



One winter I followed some hoof prints through the snow down to my neighbour's house and found this deer buck asleep under a tree. He stood up and posed for this shot.



I think these two were brothers. They hung out together around our place all the time.



Here's a shot of two fawns working on the gardens in the village where I live. It was one of their favourite spots to partake of greenery despite the gardener often chasing them away.



I've never seen this before...it's a young deer that was part of a herd of elk. I saw them grazing together in a field one evening.



This little beauty was often seen around our post office. In fact, one day after picking up my mail I was backing up out of the parking lot and suddenly saw him in my rear view mirror.



Here's a tender moment shared by two young deer...



Well, that's enough for now!

Everyone... Please stop just putting images in. For good marketing purposes you need to be adding descriptions to these posts

Several of my paintings feature deer, fawns or does. I like painting them in snowy winter scenes. Sometimes these animals are timid and will forage near farmland or cottages.
The photographs of the two deer in the diptych were taken in Alberta, Canada.
The photograph of the young moose was taken while on a drive. I spotted the animal foraging on purple lupines, stopped the car, got out and took the photo before she ran off. I also painted this scene.

Great work everyone!

We have deer EVERYWHERE around here....they walk right up to the house, but suprisingly I have only 3 deer in my gallery....and only 1 is real and from our yard. We have a piebald (partially albino) deer here that my husband nicknamed "Al" (for albino) but come to think of it I haven't seen her this year at all.... :(

This one is a negative/inverted image:



Here's a deer on the top of an arch at Boldt Castle in the Saint Lawrence Seaway/Thousand Islands area of NYS:



And a reindeer on an antique Dentzel Menagerie in Rochester, NY



That's it for me! But I'll try and upload more to my gallery soon for you Parker!

I spotted this fawn hiding in an old boat waiting for his mother to come back near Ocean Shores in Washington State.

The first two fawn shots were recent in the Shenandoah National Park. This little fawn was just as curious about me as I was about him/her. The two little twins were from last year near Wallops Island, Virginia. They were actually just wandering through the neighborhood where we were staying walking up the road munching on grass in everyone's yards along the way.

I was asked to illustrate a child's story about a boy named Johnny. He gets lost in the forest by his home because he chased this guy and meets Satchamo, the bear. They spend the afternoon together and then Satchamo helps Johnny home.

There are 13 paintings to the story. These are the second and third ones.

I just uploaded a new deer painting today, the first I've painted in a while. Deer are one of my favorite animals too, so I was long overdue to paint a deer!

Hmm. Why is my image now showing up?

Edit: Nevermind. Apparently there was a delay.

Hi all...new here...just thought I'd add my little guy to the discussion:
