A light-brown deer, likely a mule deer, is captured mid-stride, moving from left to right across a paved two-lane road. The road displays a solid white line marking the shoulder and a broken yellow line indicating the center. The deer's front left and rear right hooves are visibly lifted from the asphalt. Immediately behind the road, an incline of dirt and rocks is densely covered with green vegetation and numerous slender trees featuring white bark, characteristic of aspens. The foreground, below the road, shows a strip of vibrant green grass. This scene is consistent with the natural mountainous and forested environment found near or within the city of Aspen, Colorado, United States. No human figures or vehicles are present.
