Deer and fence at the pond.

Sometimes we are so intent on seeing a whole scene that we miss important ingredients. Here at Braemar’s 'Duck Pond' I was so intent on photographing the nearby heron that I almost missed this Deer. It stood there for some time just keeping a wary eye on it's surroundings as a dog had jumped into the water at the other far end. Of course, a fence always adds now to the attraction too.
I wish you all, a great weekend, Herb

As the deer stands motionless and its colors are well camouflaged in the environment, it's not surprising that at first view you did not see it. Great Shot, Herb. HFF and a nice weekend.

Well spotted (eventually) Herb....................a beautiful capture in lovely light. The deer is absolutely gorgeous. I like the colour of the foliage - it's almost autumnal. The fence is a lovely bonus.

HFF to you. I hope you have a super weekend.

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

It took a while but I was very happy that I did spot her eventually. As you say, she blended well with the background.

The doe was well camouflaged, and as it didn´t move, you are forgiven of not having seen it immediately!

Herb Riddle ^club has replied to Eva Lewitus ^club

Thanks Eva. Both the dog and the heron was nearer and completly caught our attention. We saw quite a few deer on this trip in the Cairngorm mountains.
