Finally, I Got It

I had a good walk this morning. I remembered my camera and got six pictures of the deer above and two others that looked interesting too, not a deer. I was ready to give up this day to a 'go figure' day. Seems to happen when I remember the camera and there's nothing to take a picture of. I did see a rabbit before I saw the deer and was ready to take a picture of it. It was too fast. It's been a good day so far. I'm finally caught up with my notifications. After my walk in a few minutes for this hour's steps, I will get to work on Vendetta. I have a picture that just might become a book cover one day. Okay, that's my day so far. How is your Saturday going? Thanks for reading. The picture belongs to me.

Isn't she beautiful. I love seeing pictures of nature and the animals in it. She looks like she is posing for you.

@dgobucks226 Animals sometimes seem to understand that you want to take a photo. Two days ago I arrived to take this "macro" photo of a cricket (real size less than half inch), I have the feeling it looked at me.

Deer are such beautiful animals, what a nice photo! I never have a camera, while I'm out and about.

Wow that is an excellent catch there. A beautiful deer and what a nice place to walk. Finishing laundry now.

Thank you. I was almost back to the complex when I saw this beauty. There's a patch of protected land right behind the complex and across from the one I'll be moving to. It's where I've seen most of the deer and a couple of times on the trail. Having the laundry finished is good.

That was a good one... So are you taking care of them or are they are wild?

@S4mmyboy I'm pretty good with wild animals. A squirrel at my cabin sniffed my nose a couple of years ago. But I have never petted a wild deer.

Nice pic really. The deer or whatever you call it appear to be posing for a snap.

@just4him Aren't deers have horns on their head? May be it is an antelope.

The deer is looking beautiful. His ears show that he is alert and knows you are behind him and taking his picture.

That’s a super deer photo! They are such timid creatures, but this one stopped to look at you and pose.

It’s been a crazy busy week for me. Same for the weekend.

Thank you. Yes, she did. They've been doing that lately. Two posed for me a couple of weeks ago. I didn't have my camera.

This time I did. I hope you can relax this week.

What a great shot. Usually when I try to take a photo of a hummingbird or other wildlife their gone before I can get them in focus. I did entice this blue jay to stay put with some bird seed. Would of been nicer if he turned around

You got a nice picture of his tail and wing feathers. I don't think a front view would have been as pretty. I could be wrong. Thank you. I got several good pictures of her.

I like your deer picture. As you probably saw, it is very hot here. I will visit the pool soon. I think it's down to about 95 F now.
