15 tiny deer
Kamloops, B.C., Canada
I was taking a snowy walk in a park near my home, hoping to get a few shots of the 8 deer which are wintering on the park's public golf course. Though I had seen 4 of the deer, I couldn't get a good shot and had given up and was just continuing on my walk. I rounded a corner onto the path that follows the river when what to my wondering eyes should appear but a snowy sand bar and 15 tiny little deer!
For people who are counting -- yes, there were 15 ;-) I wish I had a more powerful telephoto for a closer photo but, still, I was thrilled to get this shot. These deer are from the other side of the river since the sand bar is not connected to the park side. There was something kind of magical about seeing them, to me, anyway.
[Actually, I looked at a map and it seems it was an island the deer were on but the river is frozen over on the far side of it, allowing the deer to walk onto it.]
