doe, a deer, a female deer.

Today has been amazing. Margaret and I hit the road for her first trip to Minnesota's North Shore. I took her to all my favorite spots (Russ Kendall's smoked fish, Vanilla Bean Cafe, The Anchor Bar), and we got a stellar room at Larsmont Cottages. Lake Superior was stunning, as usual.But you know what was different this time around? The serious amount of deer spottings. At dusk we saw FOURTEEN deer, making it sixteen total for the day. That's a lot of deer sightings in a few short hours. Anyway, this doe was not even the slightest bit nervous, and we got out of the car and walked up pretty close. I love her tongue in this shot.
