Default Why I love nature

We go driving around a game farm quite a bit looking for wildlife to take pictures of. These are the reason I concentrate on wildlife photography and have such a great love for the outdoors.

This fawn is in an open pasture across the road from the game farm and has no high fence to keep it contained. Soon as I got this shot it ran like the wind down into a valley.

Fawn

Yeah, I bet it did run...they look at you, size you up and just when you think they might be getting comfortable with you being around...in a flash, they are gone! glad you got these before they fled
