August 2nd thru August 8th, 2010

I was driving to breakfast. It was early Saturday morning, near 6:30 AM, the sky was powdery with a morning sun just filtering through as I noticed this path off the road leading into the village. I stopped and pulled out my camera, mounted it to the tripod and guided the 70-300mm IS into the ring with a slight click. I use Live View in situations like this and as I peeked over the camer body after composing the image I anticipated to capture movement was noticed in the grass about 30 yards out to my left. It was a doe leading her two fawn. I didn't get the two little deer, but mother stood still long enough for me to recompose and click the shutter release. It was a beautiful morning. I was tickled pink to be a photographer on the way to breakfast!
