Six-Years Ago (14-May-2010) — New Jersey

Backyard Springtime Nature in New Jersey.

Look what the stork left on my doorstep. A baby male deer (fawn) trying to hide behind a leaf. Image taken with a Nikon D300 camera and 18-200 mm VR lens (ISO 800, 50 mm, f/4.8, 1/60 sec). Someone said “The Best Camera is the One With You”. The fawn’s  mother came by later in the afternoon to pick him up, so I was just babysitting service for the day.

Three-Years Ago (04-August-2011) — New Jersey

Backyard Summer Nature in New Jersey.

Running Fawn. Images taken with a Nikon D700 camera and 28-300 mm lens. For the first image, the camera wasn’t fast enough to capture focus. Second image, the rear part of the deer was closer in focus, but I no longer had the full animal in view.
