Great Prince of the Forestby *Karelliann

Photography / Animals, Plants & Nature / Wild Animals

Yes, the title is a reference to Disney's Bambi.

I saw this magnificent deer while visiting the oh-so-amazing Omega Park in Montebello, Quebec. He seemed like he was enjoying the last spark of sunlight summer had to offer while keeping guard for his herd of female which, I believe, surely was close-by.

I approached him slowly and quietly, trying not to disturb him too much. My photography equipment being what it is, I had to walk a little if I wanted to get a good shot of this beautiful deer, even if that meant losing the one chance I had to take his picture.

To my surprise, he didn't flinch. He looked at me right in the eye as I kept approaching, very carefully. I snapped a couple of pictures, thanked him and let him enjoy the rest of the afternoon.
