Description
While I was waiting for the early morning birds to come close enough, I sat crouched behind some bushes facing a group of trees that I knew was a favorite perch for the one bird I was waiting for. I happened to look behind me across the marsh and was very surprised to see several deer wading in the shallow water to forage on the tender and succulent water plants.
This little doe is eating a plant called 'parrot's feather', which is a common plant sold for use in koi ponds. The white tailed deer are small and dainty compared to the large mule deer of my native Colorado. With hunting season on, I was glad to see this sweet little doe safely grazing in this semi-protected environment and proud and that I was shooting with only my camera.
Thanks very much for your generous views and comments. I appreciate it.

I hope you have on your hunters orange. Beautiful picture, I was once duck hunting on Lake Texhoma and on our way out to the blind we came across a doe and fawn swimming out to one of the many islands. I was surprised they could swim so well. The locals told us later that the does live on the island and swim back and forth often. I do not know why, hunting pressure or maybe they were born on the island. The locals were unclear as to why...lol.. :) Todd

This is one of those images that when one sees it, a comment must be left. I loved looking at this photograph, and I loved reading your words. Both are wonderful!! Every morning, very early, as I drive to work,I must be careful not to hit one of these beautiful creatures. Sometimes when I see them by the edge of the road looking at me and wondering who the intruder is, it puts a smile on my face; a smile which I take to work with me. It is a wonderful thing. Thank you for this photograph.
