I sat here at the computer on a recent sunny afternoon.  I looked up from the monitor and there standing beside my driveway was a deer.  A male.  “How beautiful,” I thought.  “If I had my camera.”  Then I realized the camera was there on the desk.  I picked it up and grabbed a couple of shots.  (These were to blurry to be of use.)

Then I stood where I had a better angle to steady the camera.  The buck was approaching the fence and I tried to time the shot to catch him mid leap.  Fail!

Just passing through. He was soon gone.

The automatics in the camera are nice, but only for some things.  I didn’t have time to switch to a fast burst mode.  I like to use that and then sort through, say 40 frames for the best shot.  The rest I then delete.

Several days later, I looked out the dining room window where I saw a group of the girls searching for some grass to chew.

These three were later joined by a fourth doe and then they were gone

The scene changes every day.  No two are ever alike.  I like that.
