I am a quiet and calm wildlife photographer. I move slowly. I pause often. I feel, smell and listen to nature around me. Sometimes wildlife gets close because they trust me or they are just curious.
Recently a family of Black-tailed deer, 2 females and their fawns, walked towards me and then around me while foraging. They were so close that I could have touched them. I didn't. I remained still.
Here's one of the fawns.

@CatherineBabault@mastodon.social Beautiful moment. There’s something special about the trust that comes from simply being still and respecting an animal’s space. Patience and presence can create encounters that no amount of chasing ever could.
