I shot a buck and a doe...

...and I shot them within seconds of each other!  Maybe not with a gun but with my camera. 😆

When I looked out my kitchen window a couple days ago, I saw something different in the pasture.  After I saw it move, I realized it was a deer.  I readied our Canon 5D Mark II camera with our 400mm lens and was hoping I could capture the deer on my way out of our driveway.  To my surprise, I discovered she wasn't alone; there was a buck too.  From the warmth of my car😁, I shot my first buck since we have been living in the country since 2009.  Here are the best shots of the buck and doe!  Enjoy!

A doe and a cute little fawn!

My husband hollered at me to come look at this cute baby deer but I had to grab the camera even though he didn't think I'd have time! :)  I've never seen a live baby deer this small. It is just so cute in these images that were taken quite a distance away.  I wonder if the doe knew it was being photographed! My favorite image is the last one of the doe jumping over the fence with the fawn on the lookout!

A Canada goose and a deer

A Canada goose and a deer stopped by for a visit within a few minutes of each other.  The goose let me get within about 50 feet before it would walk away from me.  After returning back into the house, laying down the camera, and stepping outside for a moment, I noticed a deer leaving after getting a drink down at the pond.  I was able to quickly grab the camera and get a few shots as he darted across the pasture.  Though I was far away from these two visitors, the images below look a lot closer since I used a 400mm lens.  I love the bokeh (out of focus background) that I get from using that lens!
