Mule Deer at Mt. Rainier.

[Douglas Sherman]

This deer was wandering around in dewy Paradise Meadows in the morning at Mt. Rainier National Park.

Very cool Doug! What a carpet of wildflowers there for the deer to snack on.

Very nice Douglas. I took a photo of one there a few years back and when I looked at the image at 100%, you could see all the fly's around it's head.

Nice to catch this with all the wildflowers - a tasty breakfast indeed. Appears quite accustomed to human presence. Kind has to be hanging out in those meadows.

I am not surprised at all to see that you captured the muley in a field of wildflowers, Stunning photo, Doug

Thank you, Jim. I think I might have been able to pet him if I wanted because he was so used to people.

Thanks, Ben. I have seen flies all over animals before so when you mentioned the flies I went back and blew it up to take a look.. No flies around the head or his legs. Lucky for him.

Thanks, Alan. He was easy to get with a 24-70mm lens he was so habituated.

Thanks, Eric. Why in the world would you think that?
