Deer in a pond

I love how this pic came to be. While riding by a pond, down a lonely gravel road, I came withing 40 feet of this deer, while standing in a pond feeding. At first sight, her head was almost under water and when she lifted her head, her mouth was filled with fresh pond grass. Beautiful
