Escaping the Heat

Strolling along a local river on a particularly hot summer day, I spotted a number of white-tailed deer escaping from the sun. Naturally, I had to capture some of these idyllic scenes. I've noticed more deer doing the same since then, but, evidently being a not-very-conscientious wildlife photographer, I was not armed with my telephoto lens.

Out of the Fog

Hedgehog in the Fog is a whimsical Soviet cartoon and the best animated film of all time, at least according to the Japanese. 

Deer in the Fog is my photographic version. It's wrong to compliment oneself, but I am incredibly pleased with the composition of this image. This one is for the portfolio!
