22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Mule deer fawn

Hidden in Plain Sight Mama didn't hide this little one very well. Curled up in the middle of a field of morning glory. My husband and I were headed out to get our flatbed trailer to haul some stuff. As we were passing by this field (in town at a busy intersection)I noticed something in the middle of said field. We drive by it often so something new was evident. One ear moved so I looked harder, yes, a fawn!!
