The little one, and Mama....deer that is

There were several people stopped at this mama deer and little one. I was very close, no cropping needed here. Even as close as I was I never got the clear photo I wanted. Hiding behind all the fallen trees must be an art.

When I first stopped there was a teenager at the foot of the bank that could have reached up and petted the little one. Asked if he/she could (I couldn't tell if it was a girl or boy teenager) pet the deer. I told her only if she wanted to be fined by the park ranger.

The deer in Cades Cove are so accustomed to people that they will walk right up to you. But you reach out and touch and the park rangers appear out of no where and fine you big time. Which is the way it should be.

I was hoping he would look up at me real good through this opening of the trees, but this was the best I got, then he turned and went the other way.

Then I moved on.
