Randy Robbins's Image

Randy Robbins (USA) is struck by the unusual beauty of the frosted form of this deer on the forest floor.

On an early winter’s morning, Randy was checking the trail cameras near his home when he found the body of this deer.

Randy photographed this poignant moment using his smartphone before the ice could melt.

On the edge of mountains, forest and water, Randy’s land is used as a wildlife corridor. His cameras have recorded black bears, bobcats, mountain lions and coyotes, as well as groups of mule deer.
