I Heart Faces Pets

…or other animals.
This is a photo from last spring in the Rockies. It’s a mule deer from a herd that crossed right in front of our SUV. They are shorter and shaggier than the whitetail deer that are native to my Ohio.

A healthy looking deer with that coat.Excellent photo! We don't have mule deer around our parts but I still enjoy seeing the white-tails even though there are so many of them now.
