Wonderful shot! A great way to start out the day. Thanks 🙂
So glad you liked the picture, Stephanie! I always get excited when I find pictures of deer. 🙂
Oh my gosh – that’s an amazing photo!
Some lucky photographer was in the right place at the right time!
‘everyday epiphanies’! How I look for them every day! (the photographer must have experienced one as he/she saw these creatures considering each other!)
The photographer must have been savoring the thrill of a lifetime! I think I would have been riveted to the scene and unable to snap the picture…
Lovely! 🙂
Thank you, Val! 🙂
Awe-filled, indeed. It’s interesting, because I have been thinking (and reading) a lot about foxes. That is a wee little fox, isn’t it?
A couple of days ago I listened to the beautiful “White Winter Hymnal” video by Fleet Foxes you posted on Facebook again. I’m guessing that’s a baby fox, too, he is a wee little one. Now that the leaves have all fallen and turned brown, I’m looking forward to some snow soon…
Beautiful photo,just had to tell you.
Thank you, Lexiesnana! 🙂
Awesome photo–I had to look at it half a dozen times to be sure that it was a photo and not a painting. It’s so unusual to see different breeds of animals in such close proximity.
I had to laugh, Sheryl – usually it is the other way around – I’ll post a painting and everyone thinks it looks like a photo. It is a very unusual encounter, although I think perhaps baby animals can be more curious about other kinds of creatures. Perhaps mammals confined to an island are more likely to consider each other.
What a precious photo!
Agreed! 🙂
Wow, so cool to see that between animals; usually we notice the encounter between ourselves and an unexpected guest. Amazing photo.
Monica, have you seen the PBS Nature episode, “Animal Odd Couples”? It was fascinating – we make friends with animals, like our pets, all the time, and now scientists are finding that friendships between other animals do occur. Very heart-warming!

For some reason your blog won’t let me leave a comment. I type in the verifications letters and it keeps telling me they’re inaccurate! I wish I could figure out what I’m doing wrong.
This is what I was hoping to say:
A very poignant poem – it resonates because so often I feel like I simply cannot wait another day for many of the things you mention to happen. It sometimes seems like my life has been all about a journey of learning how to let things be and, as you say, cultivating patience. Love the window still-life.
Lovely post.
Thank you, Bobbi Jean!
Yes, that photographer must’ve felt like he’d died and gone to heaven! And what a beautiful quote – I will share today, Perfect for the Thanksgiving weekend! XO
Thank you for enjoying and sharing this one, Diane! I, too, can imagine how utterly delighted the photographer felt when she chanced across this awesome scene. 🙂
Hi. This is a great photo. The expressions on those faces are priceless. Jane
Thanks, Jane. I was overjoyed to discover this photo online and share it with my readers. 🙂
Fantastic photo. The one deer is looking at the fox while the other deer is checking out the photographer….
So many interesting things to see for the deer pair to see and consider on this morning walk! Encountering a person and a baby fox I doubt are everyday experiences for them…
What an awesomely amazing scene! 🙂
So happy to know you were amazed, Robin! 🙂
Ahh, how nice. Almost to good to be true…
That it is, Bente, and how lucky we are to witness by means of technology such a wonderful moment…
