This white-tailed fawn came running out of the bush with the black flies chasing her. She was trying to scratch and run and the same time when she spotted me. The doe was not too far away.

Those dratted flies have to be the bane of existence for wildlife and livestock alike and you can see it so well here in her perplexed expression. This is such a great action shot, Debra, with a beautiful subject and it certainly tells a story.

Nicely captured, this quick action shot is so cool and the subject looks so inquisitive/startled at seeing you while totally engulfed it what it was doing.

Cool shot Debra. Kind of funny pose and a real cutie. Those young ones often make funny moves while discovering life in the wild. Appreciate the sharp focus and nice lighting too.
