2206_2137 Leaping Whitetail
This is not the same deer seen in yesterday's upload, but she was photographed on the same day. Leaping from her hind legs, she looks quite different from the more common Mule Deer in our area that typically "stot" - ie. jump from all four feet at once.
This one is all angular grace and fluidity, and although those legs almost look too spindly to handle her weight, she is nimble as they come and was quickly gone across that field.
