After kissing my son goodnight earlier this week I looked out of his bedroom window and saw this deer family in the field behind us. The stag, fawn and hind were nibbling at some hay left there by the nearby farm.

This is a fantastic scene. We have deer in the fields near to my parent’s house. We have never seen a stag though, not for years. We know there is one but we’ve never spotted it. It is great that you got the whole family in this photo.
Tara says
What an amazing sight! I love the colours of the brush behind them too. You did well to spot them, they blend in so well. #MySundayPhoto

What a fantastic scene to capture! Love the way the colours in the background are so muted. The deer really blend in.
Kriss MacDonald says
Thank you Sarah – it was late dusk when I captured them. When they saw me they ran into the field and were instantly camouflaged!

How lovely to capture the entire family in one photo. I love the contrast of the deer and hay against the backdrop of trees.

Must have been a nice thing to look out on! Those trees look like a nice place to go hiking … and a good home for them 🙂
