It's not often that I use footage or pictures that I don't take myself but commenter Becky brought this to my attention and I had to share it with you. I can't imagine what someone did to get this footage. It's totally in focus (unlike mine) and is such a random moment, I don't know how it could have been captured except for an extreme case of being at the right place at the right time. Commenter DonnainAL suggested it might have been a camera mount in the forest.
Then commenter SIZZIE found a link on YouTube that apparently is the guy who took it. I subscribed to his "channel"right away.
So thanks to all those commenters who participated in YOU seeing this post, and especially to David Neils whose footage I think this is, and especially to the Elk and Mother Nature, who are responsible for the giant smile I hope you join me in wearing after seeing this!

Must me a young male they seem to be drawn to puddles. I don't know what my excuse is but I love them too.

The footage the guy got is just amazing. Really... it's almost like animation... or that adage, if no one is around to hear a tree fall, does it make a sound (or something like that)... I feel like I'm seeing something secret that went on in a magical moment while we're all busy wrecking the planet just beyond the protective shell of these trees!
Good to know something beautiful and natural still can happen.
Ditto everything you said Rochelle. It really is a 'Magical Moment'. I sent you another 'miracle' mail on a tinier deer than this one. Maybe you could post a story on it as well, since it is so heart-warming. I love to read your comments and see your videos and pictures. Thanks.
I can watch it over and over because he/she is having so much fun ! I agree with Margo, it is most likely male.
It reminds me of a kid playing in a puddle. Wonderful!
Isn't it wonderful to see animals totally uninhibited and carefree in their own world. Nature is awesome!
This is wonderful! This brought back memories of when my husband and I once watched two deer playing in the snow in the Sierras. It brings joy to your heart to see moments like this!
