Red Deer Stag Bellowing in Autumn Rain in along a game trail in Ukraine

Red Deer Stag Bellowing in Autumn Rain

by Molly Maldonado

Golden firelight washes the wet game trail as a massive red deer stag stands silhouetted against the fading horizon. Heavy midsummer rain falls in steady sheets, turning the surrounding foliage into dark, saturated strokes of green and brown. The stag's antlers rise in a jagged crown, catching the last rays of sun while its body dissolves into shadow. Droplets rest on the velvet of its coat and the damp earth below. The animal's mouth opens wide in a bellow, throat muscles tense beneath the silhouette. Raindrops streak across the lens of vision, blurring the distant tree line into soft gray smudges. One droplet hangs from the tip of a nearby fern, trembling before falling.
