I spent considerable time playing cat and mouse to get a good photo of this deer. She was quite camera shy at first, making sure something was in between her and the camera. I all but gave up, turned toward the trail and continued my hike. Much to my surprise, she followed me. When I stopped and turned, she kept on walking toward me and stopped 50 feet (15 meters) from me before she stopped. We stood for a few moments staring at each other before she bound off into the woods.

a total cutie!
Bambi! So adorable and I'm so envious.
Awww, you took her for a walk!
well done...a great work !
Perhaps this is why I can't get a good shot of one...haven't played the game!
Quite a lovely encounter!
Nice photo! I can't believe that she allowed you to move your camera up to your face.
Putting on her best "pose" for you. Nice shot.
fantastic color and clarity - great great shot!!!
Something similar in London
Wow you get some cool animal photos.
And when she got close, you said "Oh, dear!" She looked at you and said, "No deer!" and ran off.
Lucky you got that shot, DL! Which is beautiful!
Oh wow! You were lucky to get this great shot. She obviously is a fan of yours!
Super foto! I saw a mother deer and her two spotted fawns on my way home from work recently and I DIDN'T have my camera with me!

Really cool shot...
Nice going, your patience was rewarded!

Hi Mr. and Mrs. D.L.
We have a herd of about 20 on our acreage....what a lovely shot of "Bambi"...wish I could love 'em, but they eat too much of my gardens....just found a great natural deterant though...Human Manure Compost...really works with just a slight odor. We also had 2 tiny little baby fawns this spring that were adorable. As always, I love your photos! Roz (Bella)
yeah it's a great photo, i like it.
worthy for your chasing on her.
