Including meeting up with a cat. I caught this mule deer enjoying some fresh green grass in the pasture when a cat appeared on the scene. The cat was pretty nonchalant about the situation since he was busy hunting mice but judging by the look on the deer's face this was its first encounter with a cat.

I love this shot Heather…so so cool. It looks like the deer wants to make friends with the cat. Terrific lighting and composition, so glad you had your camera with you.

Lovely shot Heather. You caught a very cool moment in the day to day life of the deer. The expression in the face says it all. The lighted foreground with orange colours enhence the over shot. Appreciate also the toutch of light on its hears. Very good shot.
