Mother and Son
It was a special moment to spend a quiet hour in the woods with these two beautiful deer. (and fellow friend and photographer, Mike Brown)
This doe's young one is a bit different than most deer as he has a condition called Leucism. Leucistic s a condition in which there is partial loss of pigmentation in an animal resulting in white, pale, or patchy coloration of the skin or hair. I have a cat with this condition.

When I first saw this young buck I thought it was Albino. But further conversation with Mike confirmed its Leucistic condition.
