"Mom... what's that strange thing pointing a device at us?"
A quiet moment in the beautiful Lethbridge River Valley. While out photographing nature today, July 2, 2026, I came across this curious mother deer and her fawn. They paused just long enough to give me that classic look, as if the little one was asking, "Mom... should we be worried?"
Mom's answer was probably something like, "Don't worry... it's just that photographer."
Moments like these are a reminder of how fortunate we are to have incredible wildlife and natural beauty right here in Lethbridge. Sometimes all it takes is slowing down, keeping your distance, and letting nature unfold in front of your lens.
Have you spotted deer or other wildlife in the river valley this summer? I'd love to hear what you've seen!
