Curiosity

Sometimes my photos are simply about the story. After first becoming aware of the deer on Bowen Island, this was a photo I could not miss. And with these two very different experiences I could be tempted to think there is something about deer living on islands, is there?
The photo was taken on Miyajima Island where deer roam freely and are very much part of the landscape (though not allowed in the restaurants).

Camouflaged

The deer seemed to be aware of their advantaged camouflage and I noticed that they mainly kept  among trees and close to the shade of the trees. And then this deer calmly walked onto the street as if protected by the shade. The scene unfolded while I was photographing deer along the road and the photo was one not to be missed. And in case you wonder, the lorry driver did stop for the animal.
