“Take your time” should be the moral of this photograph. I was at a local nature trail photographing the foggy landscape of the wetlands. Wetland areas take on an entirely different look in the fog becoming very mysterious and somewhat haunting. The usual flurry of bird activity is replaced by a deafening silence that heightens one’s senses. I was just about to pack up and leave when I heard a faint noise in the distance. It was too loud to be a bird or other small animal. I looked, and looked and saw nothing. I waited and waited. There must be something out there. Just then, I saw a flicker of an ear. A huge male deer emerged from the fog. I was able to capture a couple of images before he fled. I call this image Stealth because big deer do not become big deer by exposing themselves in the open. They need a stealthy approach in order to survive. I’m glad I took my time that morning. I was rewarded with one of my favorite wildlife images.
