Roe Deer, Berghem, Netherlands

An unexpected daytime encounter with this female Roe deer. They are usually secretive, only active in the very early morning and just before sunset. It probably hadn't noticed me earlier as I was in a static position for some 20 minutes, not making much sound. Unfortunately, only had the macro lens with me.
