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.
