Mother's Day on Quadra

Mom - with the overexposed bum - has been teaching her two youngsters
the ropes for quite some time now. They are getting pretty big, so Mom
will probably send them out on their own in the fall.

Yes, there are two youngsters in this photo. One is to Mom's left,
on the crest of the hill, half hidden by some leaves. Can you see it?

Full disclosure - This photo was taken about a week ago, but this trio
is around every day. I'll probably see them on this slope this evening.

Best viewed at original size.

Nikon DF ,Nikkor 24mm f/2.8D AF

Very nice. We had three stop by yesterday, and one was obviously expecting.

Such a lovely shot in this light ! I have a love/hate relationship with deer - love them until they munch down all the goodies in the garden !!! V
