Grace in the Wild

Captured at Rocky Mountain Arsenal National Wildlife Refuge in Colorado, this striking image features a young deer standing alert amidst a golden meadow, with a weathered fallen tree in the background. Bathed in soft natural light, the scene embodies the untouched serenity and raw beauty of Colorado’s protected landscapes. “Grace in the Wild” is a tribute to the quiet strength and elegance of wildlife thriving in harmony with nature. © Photo by; Dawa Sherpa
