Friends, this big-eared mule deer doe is relaxing in the grasses of the badlands.  She is chewing her cud and checking out the photographer.  One of the characteristic traits of these deer are the large ears hence their name, mule deer with mule ears.  The image below is a fall image of a fawn that was born in the spring, if you look closely you can see remnants of his spotted coat. til Tomorrow MJ
