Photo of the Day

Oh Deer
Your Shot photographer Martha Tully spotted this fawn while going out to take care of her chickens one morning. "She laid quietly and motionlessly before me as I stayed back a distance," she remembers. "The only thing that seemed to move were her bright beautiful blue eyes which were watching me."
