The Ones I Like List of 2012 [#10]

The Beautiful Creatures. They inspire early morning rises and provide me with those all too important zen moments. Deer. I love them.
This is the sixth time a photo of deer has made my year end “The Ones I Like” List. Five of those photos were taken on a foggy morning. All were taken in Texas. I don’t consider myself a wildlife photographer, yet I photograph deer often and with artistic intent.
A deer photo that I took in 2012 that didn’t have an ounce of artistic intent was Bambi and Thumper. Sometimes a photo is purely about the “cute.” It didn’t make my Top 10, but it did give me the warm fuzzies, and that’s got to count for something, right?
On a side note, if you like wildlife photography, you might like Mike Cavaroc. I think he’s fantastic. I’m particularly beguiled by one of his wolf photos; it’s simultaneously beautiful and haunting. He recently posted his Top 12 of 2012. It’s worth a look!
