Yesterday was one of those mornings where everything comes together. The frost, the mist, the light and young Spike obligingly striking a pose!

The first time I've been out with the camera for a few weeks. Here is a doe and her fawn, sheltering from the snow.

@Abeesknee3101 Indeed! At this time of year, the bucks are scenting everything. They rub their cheeks against tree trunks and use glands under their front hooves to scrape the ground. They can be quite pungent too, if you get close enough for a whiff!

Derek, the fallow buck, scenting a branch using the glands beneath his eyes.
