Two white-spotted mule deer fawns are nearly hidden in the tall grass beside the loop trail in Smith Rock State Park in central Oregon. Their mother was nearby and led them across the Crooked River.

Blend Modes
Fence lizards come in a variety of shades from light to dark, but most of the lizards I saw at Smith Rock on this hike had this light coloring. I don’t know if it is genetically more common or if it leads to higher survival rates by enabling the lizards to better blend in with the lightly colored rocks in the park.
