OMD ...

Oh my dear ... what a lovely female deer. I pictured her this afternoon in Kralingse Bos, a city forest where we have running/walking a herd of deer. It was cold and grey and the deer were very quiet and lay down close together. But one of the females was apparently curious and came, a little ruminating, walking toward the camera. Like a good model she stopped walking for just a while so I could get her in focus. You can see in the enlarged version how healthy the fur looks ... ;)
