All the pretty … deer!

19 12 2025

Sunrise in Disappointment Valley highlighting mule deer (I’m so glad to see the bucks back!) in the greasewood and chamisa (rabbitbrush) and willows and cottonwoods along Disappointment Creek, looking toward Spring Creek Basin. It was a drive-by shot, and I couldn’t actually see what I was shooting on my phone’s screen, but the light was so beautiful highlighting the pretty and handsome does and bucks, I literally pointed and pressed the button.

“Oh what a beautiful morning” in Spring Creek Basin! Love the first light; love the deer; love the topography. I too am so glad to see those bucks – November survivors.

I should be more of a morning photographer – the light is gorgeous and full of promise (my favorite song is “Sunrise” by Dave Stamey). Always seems like there’s too much work to be done to carry a camera. … Maybe I should change that thinking. 😉
