Quiet presence


I had stopped at one spot in the trail this morning where there are trees on both sides, usually a good place to spot birds and the occasional chipmunk. I had just been thinking that it had been a while since I had seen a deer at the marsh, when to my surprise I caught a glimpse of one through the trees on the side facing the French Basin. It soundlessly faded deeper into the trees before I could get a shot. But then I saw it move into the open, and I was able to get this shot as it paused when something caught its attention. It is a young doe, and she was only about 30 feet from me at the time.
