See the beauty I was able to experience through the lense of my camera as they trusted me in their space. As I gained a respect for their struggles and the hardship of rearing of several babies in the woods. My respect for them is beyond words, my enjoyment when they appeared is priceless. The story begins with doe number one, I call her Stinky and doe number two is named Broken Leg Stinky.
I now want them to wander into your heart. I hope they may enter your soul through my photography and stay in your memory forever.
With my deepest sympathy and love to their family roaming in our woods, your friend Patty
Broken Leg Stinky first appears injured with a complete fracture to right leg in late summer 2011. She was always alone and behind the pack the entire year.
Button Buck Stinky appears now and then as a grown up and on his own in first rut...renamed to Spike Stinky...he stills remembers me from when he was a fawn. Autumn 2012
Broken Leg Stinky with her new family, September 2012. Her leg still broken but she seems to manage. She carried these two who are not shy.
