Great shot, Debra. Love that there is the three of them, and your story behind them. Nice!!

Thanks Jane, I was wishing I was a bit closer. I will probably never see three together again.

Super composition Debra. The foreground bright grasses does magic to put the deers in a more shady area. I feel like I am peeking into their personal life and I love it. The white trees well complete the scene, not to mention the beautyful deers capture in the action. Very well done Debra.

Thanks Yves for the very kind comments. I always appreciate your words. I was so surprised to see three bucks together and this morning there was a ight frost on the grass which helped to brighten the foreground.

Very cool encounter and capture, Debra. Their antlers stand out so clearly here and what an interesting trio they make.

Thanks Heather, it is a great time of year for catching a glimpse of bucks in the park.

Description
Off in the distance I spotted three white tailed deer headed down a trail I believe is used for horse and buggies. What I think is so cool about this pick is that they range from youngest to oldest. The oldest being a very handsome 10 point buck. The middle is maybe 3 years old and first on the trail is probably a second year buck.
